Description of the problem	I have a 2011 kia sorento. After about 6 months of owning the vehicle my driver side window randomly would stick with the window down or not go down at all. I took it to the kia store east in louisville ky and each time they would say "we couldn't find any problems". After the third time (july 2011) they decide to replace the switch. Worked about 6 months. The problem has started again. My husband took it in and they looked at it and now says the motor is getting hot and is probably due to my tint. The passenger side window has the same tint on it. Which was matched to the manufacturer tint on the back windows. They say they have to call the national tech support to see if there has been any problems in the past. I have found several. I feel a little discriminated against because they would not look deeper into the problem when i came in but did when my husband took it.
