Rear passenger door pops open

2014 Model S P85 – passenger rear door unlocks and pops out

Whenever the car is put into park, or unlocked from the outside via keyfob, the right rear door pops open just a little. I get an alert that the door is open and I have to either open and close it, or if I’m outside, I can just sort of shove it closed.

Any ideas why this would happen, and more importantly, how to fix it?

Does it make the motor noise like when you pull on the inside of the handle like it thinks the door handle is being operated like normal? I have a 2013 P85 and the front passenger door does this from time to time but its very rare. I had it professionally detailed earlier this year and my wife commented the other day that its been a while since she saw this happen. The door handles are touch sensitive and ours are the older design (none of my door handles have failed after almost 10 years and 160K miles) so I wondered if oil/dirt or something binding in the door handle causes it to think it needs to open.

No, that's not it. But thank you for the suggestion. If put it in park, or walk up the car, the handles present like normal. Then that door "pops" open about 1/4 - 1/2 inch but is still holding (it's not fully released). There's no door motor noise.

I have that same exact thing happening to my front passenger door. Did you ever find an answer to this?????

Nope, couldn't figure it out so I scheduled a service appointment for later this week. I'll report back what the tech says

2013 Model S rear door opens by itself : I removed it and all cables/gear look fine. Need advice

I didn’t realize this was a thing! I thought the poltergeist who occasionally visits my garage was to blame. My 2021 Plaid passenger side rear door does this randomly / occasionally. It doesn’t open the door when the handles present, but I have found the passenger side rear door gently open...
