I don't think I'm the best person to answer this... but I bet it's a spider gear behind the panel. It sounds as if the spider gear's skipped some teeth and it thinks it's fully retracted and when you push it back, it believes it's over compensated and it goes back to where it's been programmed to go for '0'.

I just had mine replaced at the dealer a few weeks ago. It did the exact same thing. I don’t think you can easily fix it at home as it probably has some worn teeth that the gear skips over, and will only get worse over time.
