Chrysler 300 Seat Memory

First, thanks to Gary for the seat trick - I was about to go nuclear on the dealer after their "re-flash" didn't work.

I don't have a consistent pull to one side or the other in my '05 300C. I do seem to have the "crown sensitivity" that the dealers mention - if I'm in the left lane it pulls slightly left and if I'm in the right lane, it pulls slightly right. In the middle lanes of interstates, it seems to be very true to center. I noticed the sensitivity was lessened after switching from the Continentals to Michelin Energy tires (235 55r18 vs. 225 60R18). Was the pulling issue limited to certain manufacturing months?

"Try this: Move your seat full forward, then full back. Then tilt your seat full forward then full back. After you have completed the above, re-set your adjustment memory to your desired settings and then try the easy exit feature again. Good luck!"

Worked for me, I've only done it once about 2 years ago, and never had to do it again.

Adjust the seat, steering wheel and side mirrors where you want them. Push the set button, then push 1 or 2. The alternative driver picks the other number.

I want to keep the following alive, so that others can find it via Google and other search engines (as I did, with some difficulty):

To fix the 300C seat failure to retract on exit:
"Try this: Move your seat full forward, then full back. Then tilt your seat full forward then full back. After you have completed the above, re-set your adjustment memory to your desired settings and then try the easy exit feature again. Good luck!"

Thank you for Post #12, Gary. Now I can say "Wheeeeee!" when I turn off the key again!

#33 of 35 seat won't move back when key removed by loredo1

Hi Folks, Same problem most of you'll are having with the seat not moving back. My wife's 05 /300C, seat just stopped moving back. Tried moving seat full forward, then back, full up, etc; reset S1 and S2, they work OK. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, being a dumb old Texas country boy. "But my C5 Vette seat works fine"

and when the wife's not happy, no one's happy. Was getting a low batt. read out for the key, but installed new batt. """"""""help"""""""" She's driving my Vette, and hates the 6-speed manual, keeps asking what that third peddle is for.

I had the same problem with my 300c with the "autoglide" feature not working. I tried programming my key to memory one and two. I tried programming the second key. I tried turning the feature on and then off and then back on again. Nothing worked. It started as the seat not going back but the steering wheel would go up. Now both do not move when the key is taken out.

I was skeptical about the below method to fix the issue. I moved the seat forward and then back. The leaned the back of the seat forward and moved the whole seat forward again. Then I leaned the back of the seat all the way back. After that, I turned the car on, and moved the seat where I wanted it. I pressed the set button and memory 1. Took the key out and sure enough the autoglide feature worked again. I tried it multiple times again and it worked each time.

Thank you for the great advice.
