Jetta

  • 4,700 miles
Driving in my VW Jetta 2014 SE at the I71 freeway at around 65-70 mph (I had already driving for around 40-45 min) and in the middle of the highway the cluster marked me a red light showing that a door was open. My wife figured out that the rear left door was not fully closed and that air was coming inside the car due to this gap. I was needed to pull over to the shoulder to close the door, and seemed that just the first latch was engaged, but not fully closed. Next day my father in law was driving my car, when suddenly it happened exactly the same. We pulled over and it was happening the same, it was not fully closed. When starting the car in both times, there was no warning that the door was open or any other failure. While driving several miles, the door suddenly disengaged. It was a extremely frightening experience.
