The passenger side door comes open at low or high rate of speed. The driver side door does the same thing. My mustang is a convertible so when the doors come open or ajared it is very frightening. This happens on the interstate or in the country or in the city. It is very dangerous situation. This happens at all speeds.

Passenger door opens when going over railroad tracks. I was traveling at only a few miles and I guess the tracks clicked it open some how. So now it seems that the door not only opens while driving at any speed but also if the car hits a bump or something on the roadway even at low speeds.. I was traveling on a county road.
