Thank you for your response! I will definitely try that-- if another answer I found doesn't work. It seems to be a common issue that the latch loop actually gets moved slightly causing the liftgate to latch but not be fully closed. Many people suggested taking the 2 bolts off on either side of the loop, shimming with washers, and reattaching the loop while pushing it forward (allowing the door the be closed tighter). I'm trying that when I get out of work.

I have a 2012 that just turned over 70,000 miles. About 2 weeks ago, I got a "door ajar" notification on my dash along with a "liftgate open" notification where my backup camera is. I hit a bump and it went out. Another bump, back on. It's also illuminating my rear dome light. After that incident, it didn't happen again-- until today. It did it the ENTIRE time I drove to and from work (about 15 minutes each way). But this time it was triggering my automatic door locks with it. The door is shut and secure. No big deal, right? Well... until I got out of the vehicle. Normally when I use my key fob to lock the doors, the headlights flash and the horn sounds. Not this time. The doors locked, but acting like a door was open. Ok, I can deal with that. Wrong. The next thing I know, my car alarm was going off! I sprayed some WD-40 into the latch mechanism hoping it was gummed up. It didnt help matters. To make it more confusing, I drove for about 30 minutes just an hour ago (so about 4 hours after the spraying) and it didn't have any issues at all. No notification, no beeping, nothing. But I'm currently leaving my vehicle unlocked for fear of setting off the alarm again. Does anyone have experience with this? Will it require service at a dealership??

Oops... I forgot to add that it's a 2012 and just turned over 70,000 miles.

About 2 weeks ago, I got a "door ajar" notification on my dash along with a "liftgate open" notification on the screen where my backup camera is. As soon as I hit a bump, it disappeared. Another bump, it was back on. Little beep and my rear dome light lit up. It quit for a little while-- until today. It kept flashing the entire time I was driving and this time kept causing my automatic door locks to lock and unlock repeatedly. Yes, the liftgate is in fact shut and secure. The worst part was when I got out of the vehicle and hit the door lock on my key fob. Normally I hear it lock and the headlights flash and the horn beeps. Now it only locks the doors. And, within a few minutes, sets off my car alarm. Almost like the vehicle is sensing that someone is trying to open the liftgate. I squirted some WD-40 into the latch mechanism hoping that maybe something was gummed up. Didn't help anything. That was earlier this afternoon. About an hour ago, I drove the vehicle for about 15 minutes and the "issue" didn't occur at all. Anyone have any experience with what could be going on? And is this something that will require a hefty dealership service?
