[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 544618, member: 4527"] The latch is like a hook, it probably not fully lock down, say at 80%, yet tight enough to depress the door sensor which creates a false sense to trick the door to continue to activate auto lock, but when a chassis flex occurs, it just unlatch. Of course it still falls back to the safety catch. The car is still safe. Once the door seal rubber soften through time, the latch will surely achieve 100%. One quick fix if you complain to the SC is to loosen the catch bracket, item 8, so to allow more room for the latch to fully shut. Try to push the door from outside to see if u can feel some free play by observing the door gap. If you totally can't push the door in after door shut, that means the catch bracket is installed too deep. Check the other doors too as a bench mark.
