    Driver side tail light bulb keeps going out. The socket appears to be melted/charred. I have had the bulb replaced three times in less than a year. Every time the bulb goes out, my brake light is affected and i get pulled over and issued a fix-it ticket by the police.

    Door ajar warning comes on which makes thee interior lights stay on, when this warning happens the doors will not lock.

    The door sensor to let the car know the door was closed, failed, resulting in a constant "door ajar" message. This occurred on the driver side door and started shortly after i purchased the car (used) in 2017 and was no longer covered under warranty. For the better part of the past 2 years i was able to repeatedly open/close the door until the sensor recognized that the door was actually closed, but that no longer…
