Do you always use the same fob? If not, there's your answer.

Sometimes if I start the car before I hit memory button #1 on the door, it does funny things like that.

Even so, the stations are programmed for drivers 1 and 2. Make sure you always hit the same button after starting the car or use the same fob. If your wife, or someone else, has the key with them in the car, it could revert to the other setting.

Look at the DIC each time to see which driver no. it thinks is driving the car. For some reason, it's probably not always driver # 1.

Your seats and steering wheel locations HAVE to be saved using the memory buttons on the door. Your Climate Control and radio settings do not. They get saved automatically FOR WHICHEVER fob you're using when you drive and make settings.
