S63 Rear Door Opening during Turn...
Good Morning,
I am curious if anyone has experienced similar (disconcerting) happening. My Daughter must not have closed the rear left door properly. I drove for 2 days with doors automatically locking. On second day, as I made a "normal" right turn (doors locked), suddenly I hear a bang and apparently rear left door partly actually "unlatched" (did not swing open, caught) and interior lights popped on and drivers dash alerted to "rear door open" image. I was able to drive home (close to my house) and see what was going on. The door had popped out slightly but still caught. It was enough to trigger interior light. I opened and closed the door gently but was not able to reproduce effect. Any thoughts? Please let me know

Glad to hear nothing untoward happened. You should bring it in to the Dealer - I would think the automatic door closure mechanism would not have allowed this. Clearly a safety issue. When you do bring it in please let us know what they said.
