| Description of the problem | Steering wheel stuck in up position. It would not adjust to the preset upon entering the vehicle. Found a fix online turned off the easy entry/exit feature and had to slap the wheel downward to get it unstuck. If this happens in motion it could lead to loss of control and driving with the wheel in full up position blocks the instruments. |
