Electrical System
The drivers side door will often report that it has been left ajar when it really hasn't. This causes the dome light to stay on at night while driving for a time which is distracting. It also hides the fact when the door actually is ajar because you assume the sensor is just acting up.

My driver side door sensor would show door ajar intermittently. Sometimes while driving and sometimes from the time i start my vehicle. When the door ajar would come on it would automatically open the locks on all the doors. This scared me b/c i have 2 kids in the back and driving down the highway with unlocked doors is not very safe at all as they can open the door anytime by mistake. After 3 months of this problem…
