Hey so I've looked around and haven't found any one with this problem. The Drivers window is having a problem.
1. Sometimes it wont go down at all. Stuck in up position.
2. Sometimes when its all the way down it wont come back up. Stuck down.
3. Sometimes when I hit the automatic up button it will go all the way up then when it reaches the top in comes back down 4 inches or so.
Bad motor? Bad regulator? Switch?

Had your #3 problem on my 2014 Pro4X. On auto-up, the driver's window would go to the top, then reverse, coming down about 4". Or sometimes, all the way down. Since I'm under warrantee, I had the dealer take a look the last time I was in (several problems - the window reversing, the well-known gas tank flow back, and a balky rear door locking mechanism). They couldn't find a mechanical fault with the window and "reset the electronic window controller." Sounded suspicious to me at the time, but I haven't had the problem repeat in the last 2 months since the reset.

Oh, and the dealer did get all the other items taken care of - rear door locking mechanism was replaced, as well as the gas tank overflow when filling issue - fixed with installation of a new charcoal canister and its vent valve. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

May be different issue with the window, since I didn't have the stuck open or stuck closed issues. Hope this helps!

Don't know about the stuck up or down, but, the dropping 3 or 4 inches is a "safety" feature. Some guys who put on in channel vent visors have the problem. It's in case your kid sticks his arm in or something. You can reset it by taking your door panel off and I think there is a button to reset the stop point. I know there is at least one thread on that. I will see if I can find it and maybe link it here. Don't know if I can link it with my phone though.

Yeah my driver side does that too. I did the reset button thing but only lasted like a day then started doing it again. I read up on it some More and it could mean new motor but I'm sure there is a specific way you have to reset it. Like for my Infiniti g35 to reset them you like open the door roll the window down close the door hold button wait till it comes back out and roll it up something like that but it's specific steps. I'm sure they're somewhere for the titan

Have you tried this reset?

Turn the key on

Roll the window down and continue holding the switch for 3 seconds

Roll the window up and continue holding the switch for 3 seconds



Should be good, if not, repeat.

I'll have to try this beats taking off the door panel and doing the reset butting thing.
Now do you turn the key to just acc or to just before start?

I don't think your window will go down on the first click, would be he second I believe

Sounds like it's all related to the way your window is sitting. I have a Jetta that has the "pinch" safety feature on it, and whenever there is a severe weather change, the drivers door window takes a few days to acclimatize itself. This door has been hit pretty hard in the past, so I don't think it as straight as it should be.
