Difficulty opening driver’s door from inside

[bbmertz]

During the past week it has become increasingly difficult to open my driver’s side door from the inside after returning home. It used to take me 1-2 pulls on the handle. Now it’s taking 3-4 pulls and at one point I thought I was stuck after 8 tries.

Anyone experiencing the same issue and found a solution? I saw a few brief instructions in the manual to open the door if stuck (see attached), but not sure I understand them.

Apologies if this was reported elsewhere on the forum — couldn’t find it after performing a search.

Hi, yup same issue. Dealer had one vehicle prior where they couldn't reproduce issue. They had mine for two days and ordered a door lock actuator from Germany. Part is in and appointment set.

While I have been waiting I have had success opening the door by only slightly pulling on the handle.
