This seems like an unusually high rate of failure. Analytically I would say it is likely that something is causing the regulators to fail. It seems like you may be saying that the regulators are faulty or the design is flawed???

You obviously have a superior intellect. Do you suppose there's any chance of succeeding in a class action civil lawsuit?

No since all KJ's were produced before Chrysler went bankrupt,they are not responsible(well Fiat is not) for stuff before the bankrupt.If they so choose to they can but are not required to.

Next rig--Touareg or MB ML, GL, or G with a diesel. .

Good luck with those,same problems you have now but parts are 3 times as expensive


Kinda odd though as my KJ has been flawless for the past 9 years,one of the best vehicles I have ever owned out of the 50+ I have had over the last 20+ years.

There is ALWAYS a chance but it can be awfully small

A judge in New York has ruled that "new car company" can not be held responsible for "old car company's" problems

I have had conic window regulator failures, including my Wife's TDI, my Chevy C-30 I traded off on the CRD and on other cars and trucks that have turned out to be miss aligned tracks, bent doors, regulators not in the same plane as the window.If you have to force something into place to make it work, chances are it will later jam and break something. Automotive bodies are not exact copies of each other and are only an approximate copy that looks the same to the human eye. You might want to take the KJ to a good body shop so they can practice their ART and make the the window go up and down in the tracks and make sure the other window regulator components don't distort when bolted down. Most mechanics are bolt it on, trying to beat Flat Rate and are not going to massage the door, tracks, regulator mounts into shape to have it properly work. For dealers, if warranty pays or the customer has deep pockets, they don't care. When I installed my left rear Steiger kit to replace the broken plastic part, I had to align the window tracks (yup I bent them) so the window would go up and down freely and not be in a bind. On my Wife's TDI, I had to put a 2X4 between the door pillar and door, put my shin on the door bottom, push on the top, and recurve the door to get the window tracks to align.

Chrysler fanboy.

My E class and SL class have been flawless. Care to compare more meaningless anecdotal data?

The fact is the window regulators are poorly designed, Chrysler knows it and has chosen to pass the cost off to the owners.

We've owned 3 KJs.. the current which has 93K on the clock now, and we have had ZERO window regulator failures. Odd...

(Now I hope I haven't cursed myself. )

If my mechanic is open today I'll have him check it out and report back what the specific failure was.
