Door will not register as being closed while vehicle is in operation. Dash sensor states that "door is ajar" when door is closed. Also, dome light will come on and off while going around turns. The door is ajar stays on sometime and goes off in a while at other time.

Door ajar and light staying on for 45 minutes or more before shuting off. Dealer/manufacturer notified. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter. A seal in the transmission keeps leaking and has been replaced twice, place where car was purchased is going to replace vehicle because in order to fix the problem, the transmission, computer chip, and driveshaft would have to be replaced.
