Yup, as mentioned, each key fob is matched to one of two memory seat settings. Also some options aren't present or customizable while the vehicle is running or driving. Did you try turning the key to "acc"? I know one of the first things i do when i buy a car is I RTFM before i write it off as a defective product.

^ I would try engine OFF, key to the ON position. Then go through the screen and see what you see. Some features disappear when the engine is running.

Just wanted to let everyone know that resetting the radio options (forget what the actual name is) back to factory settings seemed to give me all my Comfort options back to change. I turned them all off. So different Key faubs = different memory seat setting???

OP has couple minor complaints and it is a crappy brand, funny since most people have no issues (as with every brand there will be those that have bad luck) as mine has been pretty much perfect. You don't like it move on, joining a forum to complain and insult isn't helping your case. Maybe you should make friends with a Ford owner or better yet a Dodge, ya let us know how those trucks are doing, they all have a laundry list of complaints...

 

These threads sure get old, hope you get what ever it is you were looking to get out of joining here!

My previous $70,000 Tahoe was in the shop 30 times for stuff Chevy 'built' wrong... I'm not trying to sound like a jerk by dropping the price, but when it's my money and the product is "crappy", I have a right to call it that. I understand that your's might be great, and I will never buy a Ford, because they are even worse in my opinion.

 

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their opinions and help. I'm happy to see such an active forum for trucks. I previously only used forums for electronics. Now I have another one to browse to learn 'truck tricks'.

If you paid $70k your friend ripped you off. Maybe he is just selling you the lemons that get returned? I dilike my clunky transmission in this truck but I have owned enough vehicles now that I know it could and usually can be much worse in terms of things you find that you don't like. My sensors up front have been getting iced over as well but there really isn't anything you can do about that, it is not manufacturer specific.

 

If BMW or Mercedes made a truck (and it could actually work as well as cruise) then I would buy it in a heartbeat. Absolutely no issues with either of those brands for me, but that is about as far as my trouble free vehicles go.

 

And yes, different auto memory setting for each key fob so that when there are multiple drivers they can each have their own auto memory setting kick in. It is quite smart actually.

I didn't pay that for the Tahoe. :cool: And I totally agree, I wish I could get a Benz or a Beamer pickup.

Just take both keys out there once you've set your seat and mirror memory. Unlock with both and see what position the seat/mirrors goes to with each, or program setting 1 and 2 identical and you can use either one for the same.

What happens with the key fobs is the dealer loses one of the original keys (#1 or 2). They have another key and remote made and the lazy (or just stupid) tech in the service dept programs it as "next available slot" with takes 5 minutes and it adds it as key #3. So you have 3 keys programmed to your vehicle. the lost # 1 or 2, the # 1 or 2 that you have, and now # 3. Memory features don't work with keys #3 and higher.

 

What they should do in this case is delete all keys first and then relearn them. This takes about 20 minutes tops. That way your one original key and the new key get programmed as # 1 and 2 and you memory features will work correctly.

This is from the manual... Last night I had all the options, this morning, I have only CHIME VOLUME.

 

Comfort and Convenience

Select and the following may display:

  • . Auto Memory Recall
  • . Easy Exit Options
  • . Chime Volume
  • . Reverse Tilt Mirror
  • . Auto Mirror Folding

I had the same issue. The problem was the truck was running. Turned it off and settings came back.
