Tilt/Telescoping column sticking
My '15 ML has a problem that when I change driver memory settings the column doesn't move. I have to give the wheel a little nudge. It's like it need a little lube. I do have an extended factory warranty but I'm sure it will work fine at the dealership. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

You have a warranty. Go to dealer. This is common problem. Don't waste time on an online forum when you can get it fixed for free.

Thanks you for telling me this is a common problem, that's what I was looking for. As far as the rest of your comment, "F O".

Some some reason, my delear said this issue was not part of my extended warranty (MB warranty), and I need to pay something like $95 or so to fix it. Then, it never come back.

This is such a common issue. The search feature of the forum would save you time and money. Attempt to move it up or down and bang on the steering column/wheel in the direction you are attempting to move the wheel. Once it frees itself, move it to the direction you want and you may want to exercise it to all available positions.

I had this issue on my '13 ML63 for quite some time before I finally mentioned it to my dealer. Dealer performed a software update and it never came back.
