Drive Side Door Handle

Hello All,

My drivers side door handle is occasionally not opening the door. I can open the door from the inside and any other door can be opened without trouble.

The stealership is quoting me almost $450 for parts and labor.

If I bang the door with the bottom of my fist, just around the lock and try again it works. lol. If I can fix it with just banging it I assume there is just something loose. Has anyone had this problem before?

Thanks in advance.

Nick

Haven't had that problem myself, but if it were me, I'd pull off the door panel so I could see what might be the problem. Even if you buy the expensive OEM parts from the dealer, I can't imagine the total damage would be anywhere close to $450 out of pocket. If you pull the panel and can't quite seem to figure out what the problem is, post a pic here and see if any of the other knowledgeable members can help.
