Question Door Doesnt open when unlocked

So i have been having this intermitten fault for a while and its time for a resolution. So when the door is unlocked the inside handle and the outside handle will not open the door. i have to put the key in the lock and unlock and lock it a few times for the door to actually open. it happens to both doors randomly and you cant open them from inside. so you either have to jump over the seat of Dukes of Hazard it out the window when its not raining. Any ideas?

Bang around the door handle on the outside. With some luck you may get it open. Then pop off the panels and do some digging

I've had this issue. Ended up using some white lithium grease. Just a temporary fix, sadly, I think you'd have to take apart the door. Or close it harder that helped too.

It's a known issue with our door locks and latches, pickup some white lithium grease, take off the door panels, and lube up the lock/latch mechanism.

If it's giving you an issue, you can hit the door near the exterior latch with the palm of your hand to get it to work again.
