“I just bought a new 2004 Gmc Yukon, 2wd. Miles on it was 188. After purchasing the vehicle, I drove it home which is about 10-15 miles away. As I get close to home, the bell in the car starts to chime, the roof lights turn on, and across the odemeter reader, it reads passenger door ajar . I parked my car and had him shut the door again. As I drove off, the bell chimes, the lights are still on, and it still reads passenger door ajar . So I get out and open and close all the doors including the trunk. Same problem. This goes on even after I got to the dealership. …”

The contact must roll down the window and push the handle back into place in order to exit the vehicle with the interior door latch. On a separate occasion, all four doors experienced the same failure. While an occupant was seated in the passenger seat, he leaned up against the door and it opened. …”
