So my problem started a couple months ago, when i started to notice my drivers door would bounce back open when i tried shutting it after getting out. when it became more frequent i sprayed some pb blast in it and then put alot of white lithium grease an its seem to work but now if i lean on the door or hit a hard bump or go around a round about it likes to pop open i'm looking to see if anyone's had this issue an to see if anyone has ideas i did search an came up with nothing.
 






It sounds like the striker latch isn't closing/locking around the striker entirely. I would at this point consider replacing it, if you've greased it, etc. and it's still not holding. Not really worth an injury or worse...
