Try reinitalizing your windows... not sure if it will fix it but worth a try.

I believe this is the process... can anyone confirm?

Roll them all the way down then roll them all the way up by HOLDING the switch (*not by auto up*) and then continue to hold it up for 3 extra seconds... that should reinitalize it.

The process that is described here basically get ride of the anti-trap messages whne activated but this does not solve the problem. The problem is still there, it would comes back again. I had my since day one when got the car and still is not solve till this day. My local dealer still own me the answer and solution to this.

From other threads, it is the window motor sensor issue. The post said that it is a common problem with the front windows.

I also had this problem. Actually, the car is currently in the shop as I type. I was told that it was the master window controller, apparently the driver controller. Last week it was replaced, but it didn't resolve the problem. Apparently the problem has been identified and the latest and greatest controller was sent directly from Germany. I was given a call today and told that the new switch resolved the problem. I have yet to validate this, however a bulletin was apparently release last week on this. Hope this helps.

That what they said initially that changing with new batch of motors would solved the problem but till this date it is not resolved. That was two months back. Hoprfully this new motor does solve the issue. Please let us know if it really solve and I would go back to get it changes again.
Thanks in advance.

My dealer reinitialised the front driver side window on this Monday. I was hoping that they would replace the motor as I've seen in this forum to be the real fix. I will see when will this problem come back again.
