Has anyone noticed on the 2011 EX or SX, sometimes when you press the driver's side button to roll up the window that it doesn't go up?

I've had this happen a few times. I talked to the Kia dealer about this a while ago.

They said that it is because the Window Actuator is computer controlled. That if you press the button too quickly in a row, that it won't work. That if the window won't roll up, then wait a few seconds before pressing the button again.

This seems to be working for me, but it seems weird compared to other cars that I have. On other cars, I can just press the button without worrying about pressing it again too quickly.

I got it to have the issue at the dealership, by rolling down the window quickly and then trying to put the window up and it wouldn't go up. They said I needed to wait a few more seconds and then press the up button. This was in front of the mechanic. I think I tried it on another car on the lot and it was the same way.

I just want to make sure the dealer isn't feeding me some BS and then it gets worse after the warranty is up.

Yes, I have had the same exact problem. Sometimes it won't go up or down at a push or pull of the button for the driver's window. The rest of them never do this. If I wait a second and try it again it always works. Like you, I hope it is not something going out...to be honest its been happening to me quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, whereas before that I might notice it every couple months...so it does seem to be happening more frequently for me...BTW get it notated in your dealer notes before your go out of warranty...just in case it does go bad.

I've noticed this as well on the 2011+ Sorento. I always put the LF window down when pulling into the lift. I wouldn't worry about it. I've had several coming in with the LF window INOP, however it's been the motor every time, and it wasn't intermittent, just not working at all.
