Funny thing happened to me on the way home this evening. I was entering the freeway, going from 0 to 85mph on the freeway onramp, with winds gusting at 40mph. As I made the last gentle turn before hitting the high way my door ajar light and dome lights went on, then I slowed to 65 and the went off. It happened again when I came off the freeway on a cloverleaf off ramp.
I did a search, and I guess flexing can cause this since the doors being freestyle will loosen a bit causing the light to turn on.
I also guessing since this had not happened before, that the gusty winds and my speed had to do with it?
Has this happened to anyone else? I think I will watch it and see if it becomes a problem.

 

I have been taking some nice long turns here at a pretty good clip with winds in the 25 mph range without that happening. With the temps starting to drop a little here in SoFla we might get some windy days and we shall see, but I cant imagine the sensors would be that sensitive on purpose.

 

If the door was not ajar by accident, I would have the dealer check it out.

 

That was the God early warning system, keep in under 75 mph .

 

I would take it to the dealer and tell them what happened. It sounds to me as if your doors are not properly adjusted.

 

didn't that happen with Herc's car??

 

thats not normal - get it sorted out.

remeber..

no pistons, no pillars, no kidding!

I've developed a habit of entering 50k 90 degree corners at 104+ km p/h and have never had anything like what you're describing, and I'd freak if I did.

Well, hasn't happened to me again today? Weird.
Anyway, while I was at the store I came out to find a shopping cart smashed against my door! TOTALLY PISSED!!
2 very noticible dents!!! Paint looks ok.
I called dent pro paintless dent repair to try to fix it this friday. Hopefully they will do a good job. He does a lot of the dealership new cars, and has worked with RX8's before. Ive read good things about this on the threads.
Once done, I may bring it to the dealership regarding the door.

 

lol

 

Tooo fast!. Too furious!

 

this is really weird, i had this happen to me as i was driving today...as I would make a left turn at a decent speed (25+mph) the door ajar light would come on and the dome light would come on too (presumably from the passenger side) and then go off when I straightened out...when i got to where I was going i checked the doors but they seemed ok, and it didn't happen on the way back home. weird weird weird...
