My X is possessed... No, really, I think it is.

My X was FINE. No problems at all... If anything it's probably a bit stressed from the 40 miles to my job and 40 miles going back.

But that's besides the point.

This all started happening yesterday. When I get in the car and start the engine, everything's fine. I drive off, and all of a sudden the passenger seatbelt warning comes on. But no one else is in the car, and nothing is on the passenger's side seat. Nothing. At all.

So I let it go and put up with the annoying chime. It goes away after a while. But then I lose all controls on my steering wheel (radio & cruise control) and, the weirdest thing, the interior lights come on and off at the most random times. But it seems like they come on the most when I'm under hard acceleration or hard braking.

I'd love to take it to the dealer and have it checked but I have absolutely no time... That's why I'm taking my dad's Q7 to work today and he'll probably take it to the dealer.

I'm sure that's the only way we can figure out what's wrong with it. But I was just wondering, has anyone else experienced this problem?

Probably. That's what I was thinking.

But I still kind of like the 'possessed' story better. =)

do you like ghost stories , then read on .
a local pathologist walking along a hospital morgue corridor to start his days work was asked by a man , how do i get out of this building so the pathologist directed the man to the stairs .
the pathologist got suited up and pulled the cover on his first job and was surprised that the man resembled the person he had spoken to in the corridor .
he was so surprised he went to security and asked if he could view cctv footage and saw himself in the corridor talking to fresh air .
he took a couple of weeks leave to get over that one .
