does anyone else's steering wheel not come down when you start the car in the winter time? Mine does that when it's really cold and i just have to nudge the knob towards the dash before the memory button puts the steering wheel back where it's suppose to be.

That's happening because the cold weather is draining the battery. As a consequence of the extra battery discharge, the car compensates by shutting down some of the battery-draining activity that occurs when the engine is not running.

All is well and normal.

They have an excuse for that. They now refer to it as Climate change.

Haha I anticipated that response and you're right.

A photo I snapped last night:



Actual temperature right now is -11 degrees Fahrenheit. With windchill the temperature is -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
