driver side door will not release from interior

[mmccorma]

2004 JCW S. For about three weeks my driver door has been slow to release even when I use the interior unlocking mechanism. Number of pulls it took to open varied from 3 to 18 until today. Today, it would not open at all from the inside. No issues with opening from the outside. Passenger door is not affected. Please help!

it might just need torn apart and lubricated , although with the failure you might have lost a part/damaged them
