Is it the steering wheel or me??

I just got my car back from the dealer last week. Now when all the memory functions kick in (seat/mirrir positions etc.) the steering wheel does not move into place. Everything else does. When I get out of the car, instead of moving up to let me out, the steering wheel moves down. I keep moving the wheel up to where I need it, while properly storing memory positions (with key in ignition), but it keeps moving down on exit.

Additionally, the steering wheel switch seems not to respond right away.
Is it me or could the dealer have done something, or maybe the switch is bad?

Any ideas?

that definitely sounds strange! I dont know if the steerwheel is actualy attached to the seat memory buttons so perhaps someone will chime in on that, but i do know that when i first got my beast, i set the steeringwheel in my desired position and it goes up when I turn the car off and down when i turn it on, so something has to be going on with yours!

my steering wheel is set with the memory key. It goes up when i turn the engine off and open the door. Sounds like you need to make a trip to the dealer again...

Yeah I think this is either some setting I am missing (read the manual twice looking for this) or
its a problem only the dealer can reprogram.

I just tried moving the wheel all the way down before I shut the engine and when I did, the wheel went all
the way up to the top position. I'll have to check where it goes after I start er up again.
