Default Mah door ain't opinin no mo

My drivers side door handle gave up on me this morning. The door opens from inside the car, the lock works, but the lift handle on the outside don't do nothin!

Has anyone else run across this? Advice? I hate to go the stealer for this.

Thanks.

I scanned there but I did not find anything. There is a post about replacing the inside handle. I may just need to pull the door apart to see if there is anything obvious. Something must have broken.

Default Ifitaintopinin the rod on the inside may have come loose or handle broke

Rod could have come free at the latch but more likely at the handle . Has anybody "slim-jimmed" your car lately? That can mess up the rods very easily.

Default Re: Itaintopinin cus it wuz all froz up

The doors were all frozen closed yesterday. I tugged on the drivers door and could not get it to open. I had the same issue from the pass side but it did finally open up. Then I reached through to the drivers side.
Are these parts available from the stealership?
