Q: Over bumps, chime sounds and warning lights come on
This happens at various speeds over railroad tracks and bumps in the road: a chime sounds as all the warning lights come on. Also, the driver’s side latch had stopped working and I’m not able to open the driver’s door electronically any more. This has happened several times. I took my SUV to a mechanic and it was supposedly repaired; however, the same problem is still happening. What can be done to fix this problem permanently?
