The drivers side door ajar alarm will not go off even after repeated closing the door. It prevents the doors from being locked and the interior lights remain on and drains the battery.
Drivers side door ajar sensor became faulty with less than 50,000 miles on vehicle. Door requires multiple closings in order for the sensor to identify that the door is closed. It is an ongoing issue since 10/8/15.
Driver side door ajar sensor stays on all the time even though the door is closed securely. This causes the vehicle not to be secured properly during operation and causes faulty annoying alerts to sound intermittently while driving.

When parked with the engine off, the interior lights will stay on and drain the battery.

When you close the driver side door the instrument panel gives a false warning saying the door is ajar and the dome light stays on. This happens when the car is stationary.

This seems to be a pretty common problem and my car currently has 48,000 miles on it. This warning issue has been going on for about 1 month.

Center dash display -- several trips to the dealer with adjustment to the gear shift lever has not corrected the problem.
