Steering column won’t lower
oh wise forum members,
the other day i noticed the steering column won’t lower back to original height(stuck in the “easy exit” up position)...
forward&back adjustment works fine, just cannot lower or raise the column...i do hear a brief wurr noise when depressing the column adjustment lever up or down, for a half second then stops(not a continuous noise when holding down lever)
i checked this forum, but all i could see were posts from w204s saying a plastic piece had broken...
I tried turning off the easy exit setting, but still stuck in the up position.
Does anyone know if there’s an easy fix, or should i drop off at the service center(‘16, so still under warranty...is it covered under warranty?!?)
anybody know how this could have happened?
thank you for your help!!
