Description of the problem | I was driving the 2012 kia optima and turned a corner and my knee pressed on drivers door and the interior dome light came on and this has continued to happen ever since. It is an issue when it happens at night. We have taken the car to a dealership where they said door was not adequately installed. It was fixed for a few weeks and now it is doing it again. The battery completely died a few months ago because of the sensor which would not allow me to lock the door. |
