Easy entry/exit feature: steering wheel

For those of you who have this equipped, have you heard the wheel "grinding" into its position? Mine just started this grinding sound when getting in and starting the truck. I will listen for it more over the next couple of days to see if it continues but it sure can't be right...just wondering if any of you have experienced this

You might be hearing the power pedals. I've had to replace them in two 17s. The gear is broken.

My opinion is to disable the easy entry/exit feature, or inevitably all that stuff will break.

I actually really like the feature. One thing to think about though... I was used to grabbing onto the steering wheel to get in and out of my old truck. It didn't have grab handles. When I first got this truck, I did the same thing and notice that I was really straining the wheel as it was trying to move away from me for the easy exit. I have now retrained myself to use the grab handles...
