Driver's door won't open from outside...
Hmmm. I haven't seen this posted before. Just yesterday, out of the blue, my driver's door cannot be opened from the outside. The remote key sounds as though it is locking and unlocking the door, but no matter what I do (including using the key the old-fashioned, inserted-in-the-door method), the door can't be opened.
The only way in is via the interior latch (either reaching in with window open/top down or reaching across from passenger side).
Very bizarre. In to the dealer tomorrow...

Sounds like the something broke or got disconnected in there..
If you can open it from the inside then it is unlocking, but if it cannot be opened from the outside, then something is wrong with your door handle.

Odd. Sounds like a problem with the handle/locking mechanism. If it was completely locked...
...it wouldn't even open from the inside when you reached through the window. Maybe you need a new door handle.
