Default Any Problems in Switching Modes?

When I first got my C7, and only occasionally now, if I try to go from W to T, it goes from W to Tr. Then when I try to go to T, it goes all the other way to W. Any body else have this problem?

Me too, turn it one way and it goes the other....oh well, not a big deal so long as it gets where I want to be in a matter of a couple of adjustments.

Yep, it's all computer controlled and sometimes it's like the mouse doesn't do what you want it to. But you just keep turning it and it'll come to rest where you want it.

Yes. I went to the dealer and complained. They couldn't fix it. It happens every day.

I've found that you have to give it a good full lock turn. It freaks out when you just give a quick flick left or right.
