Drivers side window continues to either fail or non-operate. Automatic drivers window has: 1) malfunctioned to where it would not go up after 5 - 10 minutes of trying, 2) completely broken once to where it would not go down, 3) was replaced and same problems were experienced to where it will not go up after 5-10 minutes of trying. 4) was replaced a second time 5) having the same problems as the first two window lifts to where it takes 5 - 10 minutes sometimes to lift up and is making the same noises as the first two when they broke. No major consequences, except that I have had to leave my window open several times because it will not lift up. A couple of times it has been raining, but luckily I was able to find a garage to park in. I have talked with another 9-3 owner and they have experienced the same issue and have had the window modular replaced twice as well. I've had the car into the dealer 4 times for the window lift, once to have it completely replaced and the new lift is starting to make the same noises as the first one did when it broke
