Default Front window switches not working correctly - 2012 F150

I'm wondering if anyone else out there has had some problems with the AUTO window switches on the 2012 F150's. It seems that I have to pull the passenger window button back a few times in order to get the window to come back up. The drivers' side works fine, and so do the rear windows.

The problem can't be duplicated using the button on the passenger side door. I'm think I should put in a warranty call about it, but I wanted to check with other owners first.

Sounds like a bad switch or a loose connection... take it in for warranty work. It's a nuisance you don't need to deal with.

You might try this from the owners manual:

Restoring the one-touch up functionality (front windows only)

Under low battery power conditions, one-touch up only functionality may
be lost. To reset this function after restoring full battery power, pull the
switch to the one-touch up position, hold the switch until the glass
reaches the stall position and continue to hold for two seconds. Press the
window switch down and operate the window to the full down position.
One-touch up will now be functional. Perform one-touch up
re-calibration with the door closed only. Calibrating with the door
open will cause the window to continuously bounce back.

I have had these issues a few times randomly. Switch not working at all. Turned truck on and off and it corrected the issue. Hasn't happened in a while. 2012 Platnium.

Randomly have this as well. Both front switches just won't work for a few pulls. After a few it works.

I have an intermittent problem with my front widow switches too. Haven't dug into it yet. Hasn't bothered me enough I guess.

I have erratic acting switches as well. Looks like a common problem.

Both of the front switches go into a certain mode if you cycle them too many times and it stops the motors from working so they dont overheat. I was told that by a ford technician
