Door will not close - sometimes
 

Sometimes when I lock the door before I shut it when I'm getting out, it won't shut. I have to unlock it and then lock it again before shutting it. Anyone else seen this? It's happened on both doors now several times. Thanks. It's an 07.

Ouch! Yea, I wouldn't want to do that too many times. Are you still under warranty? That's for sure not sapossed to happen, [I] do that all the time, I don't have that issue, Wonder if it's a module closing the latch too soon. Good luck

there does not seem to be any type of recall on that I have had same prob on my 08 from begining I have taken it in to be adjusted to no avail

Are you talking about the door just not closing all the way? Mine does this all the time with the top on and the windows up. Its the air pressure inside the jeep. You can always just hip check it closed :wink:

In my manual it says that you have to close the door harder than other vehicles. Its designed to keep water out when you're doing water crossings... just slam it and enjoy!

No. It happens with the doors off and top down. It is in the closing latch mechanism. I had a different 07 JK that I had to get rid of but could only live 2 months before having to buy another one. It never happened on the other JK which is why it's strange.

My 07 has done this many, many, many times. One day i locked it closed it and went into a store. Came back out and the door was wide open. Luckily nothing of value was in it. I looked and it was locked but when I closed it again it was like the latch was not working and it just bounced back open. After unlocking and locking again it closed. I have found that when you lock it sometimes it will appear the round button is in the lock position but sometimes it does not go totally flat or parallel to the door and actually sticks out just a bit. When you close the door it pretty much rejects it and bounces back open. Press the button completely in that very last little bit and it will close fine. Have no idea why and haven't looked into any further. I just know to look twice after closing and locking the door to make sure it didn't bounce open.

I have on 07 JKUR and the only problem I have had is my seatbelt will fall in front of the bar and stop the door from closing. When your in a hurry jump out slam the door it sounds a lot like it closes but dosn't.

Yep minr does this too. Very annoying

I solved the door issue. I took them off! Thanks for the replies.
