Reported at 16,000 miles, September 2015 Fire

The doors on my brand new x5 open slightly and become ajar while driving. When this happens, there is a 'thunk' sound and I can hear air noise due to the small gap. This happened on 7/26/14 to the rear passenger side door. BMW north america worked on the vehicle for several days replacing the rear door latch mechanisms and adjusting the two front door mechanisms. The problem was not corrected, on 8/23/14 the driver's door also became ajar while I was driving.
