Description of the problem	So i am actually shocked that there's no complaint logged here about this, yet it seems to be everywhere all over the internet. Our 2013 kia soul (and this happens with more than just our year) when making a right turn, the door ajar indicator comes on, on the dash panel, and the ignition key ring that illuminates, and also illuminates the door/map lights in the center console. You don't even have to just be making a right turn for it to come on. If you touch (not hit it or be forceful) the drivers door panel, you can make it come on, and sometimes it goes right out and sometimes it doesn't. I know what you're going to say "make sure the door is closed tightly!" well the door is closed. All 4 doors and the hatch are securely closed, and it's only the drivers door. It will not do it when the vehicle is not running, it only does it with the key in the ignition, and the vehicle running. I am shocked this is not a recall. I have seen this with other souls dating back to 2009! I am reluctant of taking the door apart, but i mean seriously!
