Anybody else experiencing issues with your R1S/T remembering multiple driver positions?

I'm the primary driver of our R1S and at least a few times a month i'll hop in, tap the brake to get my seat oriented and it will stop half-way. When I click into the driver menu the 'restore' button is greyed out. This makes no sense since my seat is NOT in my set driver position.

I would think that at any point if the seat / steering wheel was even slightly off the 'stored' driver position, the restore button should activate and become clickable.

Also, one more weird issue where i'll get into the vehicle, tap the pedal to get the seat/steering wheel moving and my windshield wipers will do a single swipe.

wondering if anybody else has experienced these issues. They're obviously not deal-breakers, but the seat position not hitting the desired position is super annoying when i'm in a hurry and looking to get going.

Mine is same, I turned off easy entry/exit because it never returned to correct position. it was more annoying than the ease it promised... seems like a recent problem, because I just noticed it recently

Yeap I have this problem as well. Also, even if the seat positions correctly for your profile, small changes bring up the 'save' screen but the actual 'save' button is greyed out. You have to make quite a change for the 'save' button to be active.

I've been feeling that my seat doesn't come back to the same position. I feel like I'm getting further and further from the wheel every week. I've had to re-adjust my seat a couple of times already, I thought I was going crazy or maybe I was shrinking. Glad to hear others are noticing it too and I'm not shrinking, yet.

Also, every button will stop the seat from moving once the automatic position starts. You have to let it finish before you close the garage or adjust the lumbar :(

same here. the harder pedal push helped reduce frequency. think i fixed sound for now.... put wheel in up position and applied talcum powder to top of the foam trim and bottom of the wheel shaft. so far ive not had to say "excuse me" once to anyone ;)

I gave up on easy entry/exit because of this. I already have a tough time getting the seat position comfortable (bad back) and in my truck overtime it would slowly miss where I want it and get further and further away from my settings.

Mine works ~70% of the time. Usually the steering wheel just doesn't slide out into position. The times it does, it makes the farting sound (maybe its a cold weather thing). A slight fix is switching profile to my wife, then back to me. Usually fixes it.
I recently had a mobile service appointment to fix a few issues and I showed the tech the 'farting' sound coming from the steering wheel. He recommened rubbing some lube on the soft pad under the steering wheel where it contacts. Here's the lube he said they use in the service centers.

I can confirm, this fixed it.
