Anyone else have this issue that can point me in the right direction? Not really in the mood to take the door panel off today...would rather play with my son and his Xmas gifts, but if it's an easy fix, might tackle it later tonight.

1. when you pulled up on the door handle was it hard to pull on?
2.did you feel or hear something snap?
3. if no on the above questions, you might be alright, try using hairdryer or if you have a heated garage put it in there to warm up.(my passenger side door handle wasn`t hard to pull but it didn`t open door so I waitted for a warm day and voila it openned ,then I sprayed teflon on the door handle parts by holding the the outside door handle up and spraying in there and haven`t had a problem since which was back in oct and we`ve had cold weather like -38c with windchill -24 without.
