Default Door won't open

My Driver side door won't open, the only way to open it is from the out side, or to pull the metal rod thats inside the door. Could it be bent?

I would be taking your door apart and looking if some latch or something has detatched. Hopefully you don't have electric locks. Will make your life easier.

yeah, something is probably bent. Take off the panel and check it out.

Mine will do the same thing on occasion. I fiddle with the electric lock switch on the door panel and it will open. I suspect either the lock rod is bent or binding somehow. I'll have to tear into this week.
