Driver door having problems opening and shutting

I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, just wondering who else is having this problem. I got out of my car yesterday, tried to shut the door and it bouched back open. Ok weird. Checked to see if the seat belt was in the way. Nope. Nothing. Kept trying to close it and it wouldn't close. So I hit the lock button on my keyfob, try to close it, and it closes and seals. hmmmmmm. Weird. So I tried opening it later and it didn't open when i pulled the handle, So i had to play with the keyfob to get it to open again.

So I think teh lock mech is getting stuck. It's not ice or anything. IT's too warm for that. I'm going to take it in for warranty stuff.

Anybody have this problem?

my door handles stick open on the outside. You have to keep playing with it to get it to close otherwise it will bounce back out. I've had this problem since i've owned it. GM says all they can do it lube it. Bull ****, give me new door handles or doors with new handles. That will fix it easy enough. They refuse to fix it. It's highly annoying. One day I couldn't get it to go back in and close/seal. I had to hold the door in going down the road from having it fly back open. It's highly annoying.

my passenger door is doing this currently, its becoming a huge pain in the ass. i have to unlock/lock my doors and play with the handles to get it to work right- the latch on the door is staying in the shut position

Mine did the same thing tonight. Had nothing to do with the handle though. When it kept bouncing back I hit the lock button and then the unlock on the inside and heard a kind of clunk within the door. Then it worked. I would think that driving down the road (sneaky) it would be a safety issue. If this happens again for me I'm sure as hell going to insist to them that it is. Love this car for lots of reasons, but never has so many weird things happened then to this one.
