2011 ML 350 Rear Door Issue

The rear door, when opened from its switch above the license plate, has, intermittingly, been failing to close using the switch on the tailgate. It also won't close using the switch at the driver's door, nor will it close from the key. I have to close the door manually. While the door is open, the car starts to repeatedly make S.O.S. calls all by itself. This calling continues for 15 minutes or more, then stops. After a while, seemingly, it resets and the door works again. I have more luck with this not happening by using the key but not 100%. I am sure I am not the only one this happens to…anyone out there that can shed some light on this? Thanks, HL

I had a similar issue and had to replace the rear SAM unit. This really needs to be run through the SDS system to properly diagnose the electrical issue.
