Q: My window rolls down but has a major problem rolling up.

asked by on March 19, 2017

All my car windows but my passenger window won't roll up. It seems to have a problem rolling up the 3 windows and makes noises like the window struggles to go up and then stops. I don't know what's wrong with them. I was thinking window motor maybe?
My car has an automatic transmission.
