The stupid things that happen with this car, '11 EX-T, that have never been seen before, at least by me in the 60 years of car ownership.

Headed to Atlantic City yesterday and about 75 miles from home on the Garden State Parkway running around 70/75 mph and the interior lights come on and we hear wind noise, look at the dash and sure enough the door ajar light is lit???
Now this car is programmed to lock when the trans is put in gear, so all the doors lock, 'cause if one were to be open the locking system wouldn't occur and naturally the door ajar light would be lit, which it wasn't. As the wife is quite agile, she climbs over the console to the driver's side rear door and tries to open then close it, but it's locked, so hit the unlock, she opens and closes the door, hit the lock and we continue on out way.

No, I'm not concerned about it, in fact we laughed as it's just another unusual occurrence when driving the time bomb, but from a safety standpoint, the door should either be locked and unable to open, or unlocked/not closed, period, no in between.
