Description of the problem	My drivers side door does not open from the outside. I can open it from the inside, but not the outside. It is not locked and seems to be a huge safety hazard and a very common problem according to all of the other sorento owners and complaints out there. I'm terrified... What if a life or death situation occurs and the only door i can use is the drivers side and it won't open? Nothing happened to my door to make this happen. I came out to the garage one morning and it wouldn't work.
