Has anyone have this happened to them? ....
My car is only 3 weeks old. I didn't notice it at first, but at first when I pull out the key, the steering only moved like 1/4 of an inch rather than all the way for easy entry, even if I have it all the way down. I do have the setting on easy entry for steering column. Then today, I just noticed the seat memory settings stopped working completely for the steering wheel, but still works for the seat and mirrors.
After paking for a while, I started the car, trying to adjust the steering column. It would not move, like something is stuck. Let say if I try to move it up, it moves very little then stops, I have to move it down and up again then it's ok. This happens with the tilt too.
Does anyone know what the problem is or do I need to bring it to the dealer?
Thanks.

Sorry to hear your guys problems but being that its only a few weeks old let the dealer deal with it. I dont see why you would lay a finger on it even if you could fix it. Doesnt sound like its going to be a flick of a button. take it in.
