ignition switch chime when driver's side door is open and key is removed

What is your question?

Car "thinks" key is still in ignition when driver's side door is opened, but after key is removed. When this occurs, we cannot lock the doors with the key fob, or by manually pushing the lock button inside car. Also cannot start the car when this occurs - engine cranks at full speed, but will not start. This happens intermittently.

How long has your 2008 Toyota 4Runner had this problem?

about two months
