Consumer Description

WHEN WE ARE DRIVING OUR TOYOTA 2010 HIGHLANDER IF YOU HIT A BUMP THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS ARE NOT OPEM. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO USE THE SUNROOF OR OPEN THE WINDOWS BECAUSE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT AND THE BEEPING FOR A DOOR OPEN. THIS IS VERY DISTTACTING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE. IT IS GETTING WORSE NOW EVERY TIME WE MAKE A TURN OT GO OVER THE SLIGHEST BUMP THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DINGING FOR THE DOOR STARTS TOYOTA REALLY NEEDS TO FIX THIS! IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN WE DRIVE OUR CAR'
