Default Intermitent Telescopic Column

I have a 2008 LT4 optioned coupe. I have noticed that the telescopic memory isn't working all the time upon starting. I have been tracking it to see if there is a pattern, but nothing that I can point to.

Sometimes it will works for 10-14 starts and then either 1 or 2 times it will not return. Other times it may work only 3-6 starts then not work for 1 or 2. Never had it not work more than 2 times in a row. Longest working number is 14.

It is still under warranty but the dealer can't seem to duplicate the problem.

This is what I have tracked so far: x=(doesn't work), o=(worked)
3-Feb x
4-Feb oxxo
12-Feb ooooooo
13-Feb ooooo
16-Feb oxo
19-Feb xxoo
20-Feb oooooooo
24-Feb oooo
25-Feb xox
26-Feb oooo
28-Feb ooo
5-Mar xoxoo
6-Mar oxox
7-Mar o
11-Mar xoo
12-Mar oxxoo
13-Mar ooxx
17-Mar ooo
19-Mar ooo
20-Mar ooo

Any help would be appreciated

Seat memory module is going bad. Mine started with the seat, then spread to include the column. Here's the thread I started.

I have a 2006 C6. This has also occured intermittently with me. It is the only memory item that I have ever had issues with.

My steering wheel sometimes forgets too. It is no big deal I just telescope it back out and hope it works next time.

Exactly the same scenario as mine. Dealer finally diagnosed the problem last week. In my case it was a 5V reference on the motherboard failing. It was an intermittent problem so it took a while for them to pull the codes.

New memory module on order. Will be replaced under warranty.

I have the same issue with my seat. Is the memory module the black box located underneath the driver seat or is it something located in the door? Thanks guys!
