Typical body and structure symptoms owners report
- Driver's door (and sometimes right rear door) triggers a false 'door ajar' warning on the dash even when fully closed.
- The false door-ajar alert can sound while driving and tells the driver to put the car in park, which owners describe as distracting.
- Repeatedly opening and closing the affected door temporarily clears the warning, but it recurs, sometimes within days.
- Owners report the automatic locks will not engage while the door-ajar fault is active, leaving doors unlocked during driving.
- Interior dome lights stay on for extended periods after parking because the system thinks a door is still open.
- One owner reported an automatic trunk that continued closing without stopping when an obstruction was in its path.
