Default Centre console jammed shut

I have a few 05 Dakota QC 4x4s in the fleet where I work. All but one have the centre console jammed. Is this a common problem with the 05's ? Is there an easy fix for this? Thx.

Either take to the dealership and get it fixed cause it's under warranty or just take it apart and clean and lube it up cause i had the same problem until the dealership fixed it, apparently DC ran out of grease.

Get a phillips head and remove the 2 screws that hold the latch. It will probably come apart but is very easy to re-assemble Spray it down w/ some WD-40 and put it back together. Mine was jammed when I got it and works like a charm now. Good Luck
