My alarm locks my doors when I start the engine. Normally, this is no problem, but I guess over time, my opening the driver's door when it was locked has weakened the handle itself. I pulled on it the other day, not hard or jerky, just like normal and I hear a "snap". Course we all know what that means, the freakin plastic handle broke inside the door. The handle is still there and the spring pulls it into the door (it doesn't just hang there), but the door won't open. I have to lower the window and open the door from the outside. The dealer wants (sit down if you're standing) $120 or so just for the part. I guess I can go to a junk yard for the piece once I figure out what it is. My question is has anyone else had this happen and how big of a deal is it to fix?

I think you're gonna have to pull off the door panel and take a looksey. Perhaps something just popped out of place. I'm not 100% sure. Where are you in Northern Ohio?

Yes, that's how I'm getting out now. I just don't like rolling my window down everytime I get out of the car. (They're electric.)

Well then you are lucky

When passenger side rear door would not open it would not open from the out side or the inside. I had to take it to a body shop to have them open the door and remove the inside panels to get to the locking device that broke.
