Ok so i just got my car from the dealer today, and discovered the tilt steering isn't working. Anyone experience this? I'm going to check out the fusebox hopefully it's a blown fuse. Pleeeeeease let it be a blown fuse.

EDIT: Ok I checked the fuse in the luggage compartment and it's ok so scratch that out.

I had the very same problem after having a warranty repair (steering sensor thingie) that necessitated reprogramming the CCC; They had to reprogram the car 2x to have the tilt/telescope power to work. Now that that feature works I am not able to use the pathway lighting or turn on the sidemarkers for parking.

Car will go back in 2-3 weeks to address the programming problems. Nothing is ever easy!

The tilt steering wheel, both front seats and the rear electric sun shade all stopped working on my car after runnng an errand. Stopped at a restaurant on the way home, problem persisited when I got back in the car. Overnight it 'healed" itself. I took it to the dealer anyway and there were no error codes found and they, obviously, could not duplicate the problem.

Ok so my tilt steering suddenly works now. Dunno what thats all about. Maybe it reset itself. I checked my pathway lights they work. What sidemarkers lights for parking are you referring to? You're right it's never easy. They been tinkering with my car for about a month and 2 months before that for collision repair. I just didn't want to turn it in again for the 3rd time in 4mos. Bleh. GL on you're ride.

Yeah Phil I guess it did "heal" itself. They asked me if the front seats work because they were related to the same control module or sumthin. Anyways I don't think I'n going to bring it back to the dealer to try and duplicate the error. They might create another error.
