Yesterday when i got in the car and turned it on, the steering wheel didnt move into place. the control on the side of the steering wheel did not work either. i had to drive it about 30 mins like that. felt like i was driving a school bus.

after dinner i started the car up, and the wheel didnt move, however, now the control on the side worked. same thing this morning. the control works, but wheel didnt move automatically.

what gives :lol: ?

Exact same thing happened to to me on 3 different occasions. Was stuck in the upright position for a day. The next day I could move it using the steering wheel

toggle and the following day it went back to normal. Brought it to the dealer and of coarse they couldn't find the problem.

Mine could move in and out, but not up and down even using control button. Brought it to dealer and they replaced the steering column.

No need to be bummed out. Keep it in a museum if you want to keep it perfect. Cars are meant to be driven.
