    Open door warning lights come on even when doors are closed, happened 2 years ago with back drivers doors and was fixed, a year later the same happens with the drivers door. This is constant once you turn on the car and close all doors, sometime if door is close very hard, light turns off. Sometimes works, sometimes don't. It does not impedes the car to drive correctly but bothers with sound, lights and warnings.

    Driver's side door light stays on even when door is properly latched. The light will go away after opening and closing several times, but the light has also come on while the vehicle is in drive, going down the highway, and it refuses to lock as a result. Malfunction was reported to the dealership, but they didn't fix the car. They believed we'd either need a new door latch or to restart the car's electronic system.
