Hi! My name is AutoDoc1. What’s your name? I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle but don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I **may** need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. Sometimes I have to look up some information so it may take a moment to respond. I appreciate your patience. The system will give you an automated phone call offer to speak to one of us on the phone **. It is optional.** Some folks prefer to talk on the phone. If you don’t, please ignore it as I cannot control the offer from popping up. If the door won't open then the latch is most likely broken and will need to be replaced. It is possible that the latch can be manually opened if you can access the latch. This can be done with special tools that automotive locksmiths have. If that doesn't work then your only option will be to take the door panel off. This will prove to be difficult with the door closed and will likely result in the door panel breaking. Once you get the panel off, you can try to manually open the latch. If that doesn’t work then you will have to cut the latch in half to release it from the striker so that you can open the door. Sometimes the latch can become stuck and you can pull the door handle and try forcing the door open while the handle is pulled. Sometimes this will unjam the latch and the door will open.
