Default My driver side windows doesnt work!

So i come to a red light and go to put my windows down and the passenger one goes down nicely, but my driver side windows just like wedges it self stuck for some reason... i can hear its effort, but nothing. it will come down if i get out and push it down with my palms. i will be visiting Toyota tomorrow to get this and many other things fixed...

If it's caught on something, don't try and force it.

Yeah, I can see how that would be a little embarrassing.

On top of that, both of my seats are tearing and the seams up by the handle to pull it foward is tearing out. and i think my engine is making funny noises, and my clutch squeeks! and... ugh... just so much stuff... but i did get my jada for the airbag thing

Engine making funny noises? Like what?
The clutch squeak is normal.

How do you know they don't need to be reset?

I've had both my windows do the same thing and resetting was all that it took to fix them.

The seat tearing thing surprises me because I have had my tC for over two years and haven't had that problem at all.

If he can hear the actuator working but the window doesn't go down, it's jammed (ie; there's something in the way or the actuator is defective) and reseting the wondow isn't going to do anything.

Take it to the dealership for sure.

So let me repeat what I said differently.

I took my car in for servicing at one point and left only to find that my PASSENGER side window worked and not my driver's side.

Needless to say I took my car back to the dealer and they reset the system. Worked fine after that!!!

haha... i kno its broked... i dont kno what caused it tho... so i was driving really fast on the interstate... like 110+, (in a 55) and i put my windows up automatically... my driver side went all the way up and my passenger only went up half way and went back down... any answers... i think its cuz of the force of the wind.. idk...
