front windows role down by themselves
I have a 2013 Durango and from time to time I'll go to the car and the windows will be half way down. This morning I hit the unlock button and both front windows roled all the way down. I roled them up, I then turned to go back to the house and turned around and the windows were half way down again. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Are your doors also unlocking every time this happens, including those times when you didn't immediately press the Unlock button just prior?
There have been multiple threads about similar issues but I don't recall ever reading a follow-up with what people found.
My suspicion is that your unlock button on your keyfob is sticking in the closed/pressed position and activating the remote opening feature that many newer vehicles have. Assuming you don't have a spectrum analyzer handy, there are some displays at auto parts stores that have an RF indicator to test if your key fob is transmitting. The ones I've seen are usually near the checkouts as part of display selling key fob batteries and cases. You could try tracking one of these down and then holding your fob near the tester to see if it's transmitting without pressing a button. If not at the time, try pressing the Unlock button and see if the fob stops transmitting as soon as you let off the button or if it continues to transmit (and also rolls down your windows).
And please post back with what you find. If you are unable to locate a means of testing your fob for transmitting, then you could try removing the battery from your fob (or fobs if you have more than one) and the see if the issue stops happening.
