Just had mine fixed this week. They had to adjust a "footwell Module". If I am not mistaken, the module regulates when the window is up all the way and is currently our of sync as to where it is in relation to the top. $80.00 to have the module redone, now it works fine.
hope this helps

If your car still has a warranty, all mechanical defects should be covered. Just take it back to the dealer and don't even sweat it.

Sounds like the anti-pinch safety is activated. You should just have to re-initialize your footwell module....as mentioned.

I know the sunroof can be manually re-initialized (hold the button up for about a minute) but not sure about the windows.

Maybe try holding passenger side window button up for about a minute? Do this at your own risk though....it can potentially blow out the regulator.
