Body problems of the 2001 Ford Taurus

Drivers door not latching. Have had to drive on a highway to purchase wd40 to try and get my door shut. I have also had an issue with my lights flashing. And who plugs a phone into a car charger for 2 hours and it doesn't charge. It never used to do that. Door wouldn't shut while sitting in driving and when driving in city and highway. Lights flickered while driving on highway. Phone wouldn't charge while on highway. I have to dig the two receipts out from the wd40 purchase. It is going in today for an oil change and they want to look at my door which will cost an additional $85 on top of the oil change.
