Got locked out of our 2011 9-3X Combi. The key fobs would not function, but able to unlock it with the emergency metal key. Once inside the fob started it and drove it home. The car locked itself again while I went in the house. again the fob wouldn't unlock it, but I had left the windows down so just reached inside and used the unlock switch. then the message "steering lock malfunction, contact service" appeared where the mileage is normally displayed.
Yesterday, id did something else strange: whin I shut the engine off, removed the key fob and opened the door, then the chime came on indicating the door was opened with the engine off and the key fob still in the ignition switch (but it wasn't). It chimed for a while and then stopped and the same message appeared as described above.
Has anyone experienced this sort of problem and how did you solve it? TIA for any help.
