Window up/down-up/down-up/down
Yeah. That's pretty much what it's doing 
Driver's side.....I send it up, it goes halfway and goes back down and my finger is no where near the control. It does other variations of this dance as well. I know this is a common issue, but what does Audi do to fix it? I had complained about my window from the first time I had it for a seatblet issue. That was within a week after I got the car. I said it didn't sound right and seemed slow going up/down. They said it was working now, but they would 'document' the issue. UGH. I guess I have to call for another appt.

When that happend to me I took it in one day, they fixed it and then it started up two days later. When I took it back to them they replaced the motor and I haven't had a problem since.

Becca,
Just reset the sensors. Roll the window all the way down. Then roll it all the way up and keep pulling the switch for 5 seconds. Now roll it back down and hold. Up and hold one last time and you should be good to go.
This resets the pinch protection threshold. It's in place since some cars seals are a bit tighter than others. VW/Audi has had it since the B5 chassis.

Pull and hold the electric window switch until the window is fully closed.
Release the switch and then pull it again for at least one second.

Last night I did the up 5 sec/hold, down 5 sec/hold then up 5 sec/hold, so we'll see how that goes. If I need to do it again, I'll do it the way you said. Thanks

Thank you!!!
I have had my 2011 since October and have been having this windown issue on the driver's side since day 1. Dealer oiled up the window and that fixed it for about a day. Now it only does it occasionally, but I swear that the motor on that side sounds different than on the passenger side...like it's struggling. I am going to try this and see if it works. Thanks for the suggestions!
