Driver's side window issues

Lately I've been having problems with my driver's side window. When I flip the switch inside for it to roll up automatically, it rolls halfway and stops. It does this everytime I press it to auto roll up. It's not only halfway, but wherever it feels like stopping.

Today, it was pretty hot, so I pressed the remote to roll down all the windows from outside and the driver's side didn't roll down. I tried multiple times and it still didn't roll down. However, the switch inside still works except in auto up (where the window stops).

I'm guessing it's the window regulator, but not sure. If it is, how much would it be for the dealer to replace it, since I'm out of warranty? Or can I do it myself?

Any input is well appreciated.

Lmao it happens to me as well, only the passenger side is the one that does it. BTW, i only noticed it once or twice, and it was while i was driving. I just hold the button up if i think its gonna happen again.

I have the same issue, is there a way to solve this? It's very annoying.

Have you tried the auto window reset procedure described in your owner's manual?

Sorry, I can't remember the specifics -- something like holding closing the window using the switch and then holding it for 5 seconds or so, but like I said, it's in your owner's manual. I'm sure if you search this site you'll find quite a few threads about how to do the procedure as well.
