Default Serious Malibu Issue

Problem started 5 hours ago. Here what happened in order.

1. Went to my locked car
2. Interior lights we on even though i watched them turn off
3. Remotely unlocked car which caused alarm to beep a few times then stop
4. Start car close door and interior light stays on the screen reads door ajar
5.Putting car into gear just starts chiming and hitting lock locks all doors cept the drivers which bounces back up THUS PROBLEM IS ONLY DRIVERS DOOR
6. The light on console doesn't turn on reading door ajar just screen
7. Driving the car led to erratic behaviour with the chiming going off evey little while sometimes long sometimes shorts with msgd flashing.
8. THINGS GET WORSE. Still driving and the chiming starts goign double speed and on screen its flashing then not at all then just the screen flashing no chiming and so on.
9. Get home cars working fine.
10. Get into car again and its fine the whole drive and back.
11. Cars locked and outside and evey 5 seconds my alarm would go off eveytime i stop it.
12. Left doors unlocked for a while and just relocked them 10 min ago and hasnt gone off yet.

Ideas????

AGAIN PLEASE NOTE

Problem started around 5-6 hours and NO history of electronic issues

sounds like you have a door switch giving a false contact. This is were the door switch is wore out and is contacting even when the door is closed. Pull this switch out and disconnect the wire

** Don't let the wire fall back in the door jam-this is a pain to retrieve**

and shut the door and go through the motions. If this does not fix your issue then it sounds like the control module is having some sort of issue.
