Driver's side exterior handle often feels "loose" or where it has no tension/spring to it. Doesn't happen all of the time. It coincides, when it does happen, with the driver's side lock not working. It will not unlock with keyless entry, key pad entry, or by key in the door (can't turn the key). The only way to open the door is to pull the interior door handle forcefully from another entry point (ie the back seat, passenger seat). MAJOR PAIN IN THE &$%#! Dealer suggested replacing the handle & hardware/springs inside. Says it'll cost around $30 for the part, and $90 for labor. hmmmm
