Default Door sensor issue or???

This morning on my way to work my VIC kept chiming that my passenger door was open. Of ocurse it was not, and yes I checked. When I hit a bump or went around a corner (turning left), the warning came up that it was open. I pushed the sensor in a few times, used compressed air to clear out some dust, so far nothing... Any suggestions??

You need to adjust the door a little tighter. Loosen the striker in the door jamb just enough to where you can tap it with a SMALL hammer and have it move, and just tap it back a little towards the interior and then test how the door latches
