Default Auto-Window Feature stops when hitting bumps?!
Auto-Window Feature stops when hitting bumps?! Is this normal? Why? I hit the button.. It starts going up and then I hit a bump and it stops.

Probably a loose connector or resistance.

Totally normal, on windows and sunroof.

Don't try to close any windows going over train tracks!

I had this happen while just entering an interstate - on the entrance ramp during acceleration. They went 3/4 the way up, then rolled back down to 1/4 the way up, both sides. IDK why.

The bump may be fooling the truck into thinking there is an obstruction in the window and stopping the auto up.

I've had this happen before. I guess we just have to live with it. Lol. Not a deal breaker for me though

Safety related, good feature, keeps the little ones from getting caught or smashed!

Happens on my 2013 as well. There is a speed bump leaving the parking garage at work and I have to badge out.

I thought I had bd switch as well. I can see this being a safety mechanism, but that's a bit on the touchy side don't you think?
