Issue: Car confused if door is closed

I have a 2015 Q60S. After opening the driver's side door, the car seems to be confused whether the door is open or closed and rolls the window up/down slightly repeatedly. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, please share the fix.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I would start by checking the door jamb switch. Open your door and look for this switch (it will be on the right side near the door latch):

There should be one Phillip's head screw. Make sure it is tight. You could also remove the switch and make sure there is no corrosion. Again, make sure the screw is secure. You won't hurt anything. If the problem persists, then you'll have to dig deeper.

2015, no more warranty?

Thanks for the tips! I will give them a try. I bought the car as a certified pre-owned and the warranty expired in April

I took it a part like you suggested, super simple. Seems like it was getting stuff and not fully expanding out. I hit it with a little bit of WD40 and exercised it for a bit and did a little more WD. Seems to be back to working order, thanks for your help!!!

Glad you got it sorted. Sometimes the smallest things can be the most annoying...
