Hi all, so I was just driving home when my V50 completely freaked out and showed me all sorts of messages ranging from "brake failure" to "fill washer fluid," only nothing was actually wrong. In addition the wipers started going on their own at full blast, only to change to medium speed, then to intermittent, then to off over a period of about 5 minutes. Also the clock and trip odometers reset. Clearly some sort of electrical problem. Then when I got home and tried to turn the car off, the key won't turn to the off position and now the car won't start at all. The message now says something about the immobilizer, but I tried to do the door lock/unlock thing to reset that but it won't actually do anything because it is in the ignition. Anyone ever have anything like this happen and what on earth should I expect for a repair? AAA is on their way, I'm afraid to disconnect the battery while in use. Thanks in advance.
