New problem- driver's window goes up half way then back down automatically-displays window trap function warning indicator at every start-up.
Anyone else experience this and what was the fix?
Thanks guys.

I had it, Joe, and they replaced a part in the passenger window (door).? ? No problems since.

I had it. THey replaced the window winder mechanism inside the door. No problems since (2 weeks) but it was pretty sporadic so don't know when I will be able to say it was cured.

it happened to me too on the passenger rear window. The Idrive showed the malfunctioning of the trap thingy. So I went to the window, clean the window track with my finger and woala...the windows was back to normal and the erro message reset itself

had the warning for 10 days, auto up did not function, front pass window.
on day 10, the warning goes away and window auto up began to work.
Now that i think of it, i did wash the car just before it happened and the next 10 days it was warm and sunny. Maybe moisture related ?
good luck, mike
