WAIT AGAIN???? A DIFFERENT WINDOW - 30 DAYS APART! Now the rear window on the passenger side won't go up. Got stuck half way up. Immediately knew it was the window regulator. Drove into KIA service center and they said "kind of a common problem" and if they want me to have them look at it, it'll be a $150 deposit towards any work they do.
REAR DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW WON'T GO UP OR DOWN - Very strange and odd at first, I never have passengers. I barely even roll down the back windows - probably 30 times the whole time having my car, as the original owner starting at 7 miles on the odometer. I can hear the motor in the window, at first thought it was the switch and then discovered it was the window regulator after a few searches. Suggested part price $275 and that's without labor.
SO my drivers side window is the only window that works, ive never had a car where all but one window regulator goes out with in months of each other. i live in florida so my windows are usually always up considering the heat down here. no kids no pets. wtf kia?
Ok, so this is the fourth of 4 window regulators that has failed in the last 7 months. Each window's regulator had to be replaced. I replaced the part myself and is easy to do. It cost 250, but the only thing broken was a small 3 inch cog which would have cost a few bucks if they sold it separately to the entire plastic panel it attaches too. Total waste of plastic and time and money.

This is the first of 4 window regulators that has failed. It failed just after my warranty was up and it I replaced the part myself.

Total waste of plastic and time and money.
3 of my power windows are now not working. The rear passenger side wouldn't roll up about 5 months ago, then a few weeks ago the rear drivers side, and today the passenger side window. Each door and the driver door make the sound of trying to work up and down but the windows will not move. I had to hand pull the windows up and use suction cups or door stoppers until I can take it in. In watching some YouTube videos on the subject it looks like more than I can handle. These windows were in no way abused by kids playing around with them or any type of misuse, I am single, no kids and live in Florida where I barely roll my windows down and prefer using the A/C. I suppose it will be a matter of weeks before the drivers side door does the same. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Update from Jul 25, 2019: My car is going to the dealership tomorrow for 4 new regulators. The lady said you should of brought it in sooner, my reply was "yeah that would of been 4 separate appointments and 4 separate pains in my...." Anyway I am grateful the warranty covers it, but who is to say this won't just happen again.
I'm now on window #3 of the mechanism not working. The dealer has replaced them but I've never heard of or experienced 3 window mechanisms going on 1 vehicle. I asked them to check the last one and supposedly they did.
It is now all 4 window mechanisms have gone on my vehicle. I'm super pissed because the Dealer supposedly checked the last window mechanism to verify that it was working correctly.
