Now my other window motor is going...

I mentioned I had went in 2 weeks ago for service... and for them to fix my drivers side window... it was going down all slow and making noise and jiggling around.

They said they needed to order me a new window motor and that it would be here 2 days later (still hasnt arrived 2 weeks later)

Well... today my passenger side window started going.

Sheeesh. Another dreadful trip to the dealer.....

YO, WTF is up with this window isht. I have the same problem. I press the auto-down window and it does not go down all the way, like maybe half way. I press again, it goes another half. WTF. The windown rattles as if its doing me a favor by going down. and
I took to the dealer but they were not able to replicate the problem at the time and pretty much gave me a hard time. They told me they lubed something, they did not lube anything.
Basically, this is way too many problems with a 30k car in 13000 miles. For those keeping score at home: Rattling sunroof, squeeking passenger seat, rattles, and now the window. My previous car was half the price of this and never had problems like these.

Sounds like they use the same window motors as Chrysler! Chrysler owners are always replacing theirs- sometimes 2-3 times!! That was the ONE thing that I didn't have a problem with on my 99 300M!

Yo ! It's a computer chip in the door ! When it gets hot as hell, you can demo it to the jackass at your dealership ! I have the same problem, just when it's "hot as hell", this happens !
Don't sweat it, unless it bothers you, then share with us, when they fix it, so I can bring it to my dealership. Why haven't I fixed it ? Because it doesn't do it that often !

Yeah, it did start happening when it got warmer, like 65-70, not exactly hot as hell, but deffinetly warmer. I brought to the dealer and did not do that there so they said you can leave here and we can try it throughout the day to replicate the problem. This annoys me because its a new car, this should not happen under any circumstances.
