    driver side door

    Hey guys and girl,
    Just wanted to see if someone has experienced the following and how they fixed it.

    On very rare occasions ( only drive on the weekend) when I accidently drive over pot holes, even if it's a small one, my driver side door becomes unlatched. The light turns on indicating the door is not closed properly. I have to then open the door and close it properly.


    Any ideas, this is a real safety issue, hope the door doesn't fly open one day...

    Thanks

    Man that's strange. I don't think it's anything serious but it'd be worth taking it to your vw dealer and ask them to repair it under warranty. Have you called them?

      Yeah I've called them, the guy I spoke to said his never heard of this happening. Told me to bring my car in, the problem is its only happened 3 times in the last 6 months so doubt it will happen when I bring it in.

        New one on me too...did the door actually open? If it did the the lock catch will be too weak...if it didnt then more than likely a micro switch in the lock faulty....or loose contacts in the door....id say they would be fitting a new door lock for you...VDUB...

          The door doesn't physically fly open. You can hear the door unlock and the console light switches on indicating the door is not closed properly.

            Has your car go auto locking on the central locking system

            If so look for a short or loose wire in that.

            If the door is physically moving open look to adjusting the striker plate
