Door won't open!!!- driver side
Has anyone experienced any issues with the driver side door? The darn thing will not open once it is unlocked. When I reach to pull the latch, nothing happens and door will not open. I have to open the passenger side first, crawl over and open the driver side door from the inside. Called the dealer and they told me I was outside of manufact. warranty... any ideas on a fix for this issue? I thought this type of stuff should last through the life of the car.. WTH??? Does this have anything to do with my window motor going out? the window motor went out a few months ago but the door was working fine.. any thoughts??? thanks!

I'm having the same issue. I imagine some little plastic clip or something else broke inside the door/handle assembly. From what I can tell it doesn't cost much to replace...like 65 or 70 bucks for a new handle. But to make your life alittle easier, just hold down the unlock button on your key fob, roll the window down and open the door from the inside (vs crawling over everything).
but on a side note, how much did it take to replace that window motor? the one on my passenger side just went out too.
