Easy Entry - Seating position drifting

[djgarrett21]

I'm noticing that my seat and steering wheel slowly drift out of position every time I enter the car. Not by a lot, maybe 1/8"-1/4" each time. But over the course of just a few days my seat and steering wheel are off by inches from where they were originally set. It feels like the seat isn't fully returning from the Easy Entry position.

Anyone else notice this? Not the end of the world but definitely a gripe since I'm having to readjust my seat every few days. I've got a mobile service appointment at the end of the week so I'm going to see if the tech has any thoughts when they come.

Happened to me. Not sure if I noticed that after v9 thought.

I "think" it was happening to me, so I turned off Easy Entry a couple of weeks ago. The differences were minor though, so I wasn't sure if I might be imagining things.

Mine was doing this. After a few drive cycles I would be too far back. I gave up on using easy entry. No major loss.

Someone posted on here a while back about this issue. He used to tape to confirm it was happening. I have to adjust my seat every few days. Also had the left mirror completely out of whack for no reason the other day. That was a new one .I have submitted a bug report through the car every time. Hopefully they will get it straightened out.

I turned off the auto tilt because it wouldn't move back to the correct spot. Didn't matter how many times I saved the settings. I think it was moving the driver's mirror back to the Easy Entry position instead of my profile. Definitely a bug somewhere.

Dang. I was hoping I was the only one having the problem. Hope it is a software fix. Other vehicles I've had with multiple driver profiles seem to find the correct position each time.

For the seats to correctly return to the set position I'd guess that they have to index off some datum each time they adjust or periodically, otherwise I don't see how you fix the problem long term.

Seat never returns to original position when switching between profiles. Have to create a brand new profile each time, save it, and never change it to have the seat stay the same.

I've had to tilt my seat back forward a couple times and re-save it when in its normal driving position. I thought it was just me but maybe it does happen.
