Still Trying to understand these random quirks

[SmokeyJoe]

When my wife drives our 22 Tahoe, the radio channels seem to change randomly. She swears she doesn't touch the selection but it changes channels. When I get to it, the favorites have been copied over to the same channel.

Now that seems strange! Could be pilot error of course but I can't seem to find any way to copy one channel to a bunch of other channels at once.

Then there is the message that appeared the other day that "accessorries have been reduced to save battery life". So I called the dealer who said I "might need a new battery". Off to the delaer I go, long story short, you need a service appointment and none are availble for few days so just leave it with them.

No can do. Off to the local auto parts store for a load test. Everything is ok.

When my wife gets in the vehicle the seat rises up her saved position. Doesn't work for my saved position.

The rear window wiper seems to have some sort of rain detector because if I back out of the garage and it's raining, it will run for a couple for swipes and then stops. After that, it will only run when switched on.

I seem to get these quirks that just to come and go. Yes I did the recall last month that only the dealer could perform becuse it was hardwired.

Sorry for the rant. Thanks for listening.

The rear wiper is performing normally

This happened to one of mine a few years after it was new. Different generation vehicle. The dealer reprogrammed the appropriate computer under warranty and all was good.

Are you and your wife using different/your own key fobs when you drive, or are you both sharing one? ‘Cause it sounds like you are experiencing memory settings saved with each fob (and that the settings aren’t the same under each).

Regarding the radio stations, she could me hitting the buttons on the back side of the steering wheel (maybe thinking she’s changing the volume, but the volume control is on the other side of the back of the wheel). Incidentally, I don’t understand from your post what you are trying to do when you’re trying to “copy one channel to a bunch of other channels at once.”

For radio concerns, try pressing and holding the “end call” button in the steering wheel for 10 seconds, then release it. The radio screen should soon go blank and reset itself. Doing this can resolve some basic radio issues.

I have no idea what the accessories/battery message is all about…

The seat-position settings are saved to the key fob. And there are entry and exit seat-movement settings that can be turned on or off in the Settings menu. You need to look into those settings.

The rear wiper activation when reversing is also a setting. You should turn it off in the Settings menu if you don’t want that to occur when you back up.

You may have a couple quirky things occurring from time to time, but it sounds like most of your concerns have to do with saves settings (and across two different fobs).
