My specific complaint is that the “door is open while driving” notification is dangerously insufficient. Details as follows: Door was not closed properly while driving. Driver was not sufficiently notified by car (small visual notification behind steering wheel, no audible notification). Door flew open while turning, endangering passengers, alarming driver, and endangering nearby vehicles. This is in comparison to the seatbelt notifications, which are incredibly loud and pervasive, and much less dangerous than a door flying open while driving. Problem is easily reproduced.
