Door latch switch malfunction causing door ajar warning when door is closed and vehicle is in motion. Door locks will not lock and child safety rear locks do not engage (child can open door when in motion). Child has not fallen out the door yet. Am getting it repaired at my expense because it is a safety issue.
Drivers door ajar indicator on dash/warning light. Door is securely closed, door ajar light and audible indicator remains on but can be muted by selecting ok. "shift to park" light/indicator comes on when stopped and starting again. Door locks will not auto/manual lock, unlock automatically.
Door ajar warning will not shut off when door is closed. This causes dome light to stay on causing dangerous condition while reversing at night and killing the battery while parked over night. The "shift to park" warning will sound while driving, and the door locks will not lock causing a major safety issue.
This has been an ongoing issue it started out every now and then. Now its constant this morning ran my battery down causing crazy things to go on with electrical. The dome light stays on so at night driving is bothersome, and the door locks will not work.
About 90% of the time -- at all speeds of 0-75 -- the warning light shows the driver door is ajar, which causes the dome lights to stay on, and the door locks will not lock. This is extremely unsafe when driving in the city and stop at a red light -- anyone could open the door and get inside. When the dome lights are on, it is difficult to see at night, especially when backing the car.
