What owners wrote
When rolling window on both driver's and passenger's sides, mounting will roll under the window. Also when running defroster, headlights will begin to flicker and begin to dim or brighten up intermittently. Dealer claims this normal.
Power window mechanism failed, presenting a safety issue by immobilizing the window. Upon inspection, it was revealed that jeep has re-designed the mechanism by replacing a failure prone plastic component with a metal component. However, no recall or notice was given to owners of vehicles with the failure prone parts, and jeep also charges for the re-designed replacement assembly.
