This is caused by the latch not returning back to the set position! In the pic below you will see a I Hook with the cable attached, The I Hook isn't returning to the up position & stopping the handles from working! You wont have the cable like I do, it will be a bar attached to the I Hook!

If your door wont open hit it from the outside or inside to free up the latch Or drive around on bumpy roads <<<it works trust me!
After you get it open spray lube in the latch, if that doesn't work then remove the door panel push it up just a little & it should work....then lube the hell out it!

I've experienced this problem with both my doors, usually i just "jiggle" the handle open and closed quickly from the outside to fix it then spray lube in there.

i just hit it from outside as you said and the door now open!!! thx

No problem & spray that latch with some lube, if you are in wet conditions use silicone spray lube it last longer! 1st time I seen this was on a buddies car about 2 years ago!
