Drivers door handle won’t open
Driver side door handle is very finicky to open the door, you have to push in a little bit on the lock and slowly pull out. Sounds like maybe just an adjustment anyone else having this kind of issue?
Yes the key locks and unlocks the door, the key fob also locks and unlocks the door. The handle pulls out fine, you just have to kind of wiggle it to get it to unlock Or I should say unlocks the door. There are no issues locking the door it is unlatching it to open it.
Doesn’t feel like the door is sagging and everything is latching on the door swings properly it just feels like something in the handle when it pulls out isn’t catching the lock to unlock it or like I said unlatch it
Yes it unlocks all doors. Sorry my original question was probably confusing, there’s no issue with locking or unlocking the door it’s when I pull the door handle and the driver door does not unlatch from the latch unless I jiggle it.
No, you're okay...it's just that it sounds like the same type of symptom you'd get with a broken door lock pin...door somewhat difficult to open. When my door pin broke, l had to double push, sometimes triple push the door handle button to get my door to open smoothly. If pushed once, door wouldn't open unless l jerked it open...couple more button pushes and it opened smoothly. But, if your key is unlocking all doors...pin is okay.
Maybe pull door panel off and lube all internal rods and pivot points. Door panel comes off pretty easily.

There is an adjustment on the door handle rod. You can pull the door panel off, pop the retainer open, it will self adjust, pop it closed. If you are up for popping the door panel off I can post pictures of the retainer you need to open. You will not be be able to see what you are doing, you will need to do it by feel.

While inside the door panel, lube all the hinges, rollers and metal on metal/plastic areas. It helps during the cold winter weather.
