ive had this problem last year in the cold when i first bought the car too, the latch in the door jamb that locks/unlocks it is stuck and i cant close the door, llast year wd40 and a screwdriver would usually work but today i tried that and lithium grease and its still stuck, any ideas?

Did you use the spray lithium? I think it happens from the grease being old and dried out, and as it gets colder, it gets thicker. I would spray a gear oil or engine oil into it if you can once it's free, warm it up if you have to.

i used this lithium spray that solidifies once you spray it on so it turns to like a foam, my friend said to take a hair dryer and heat up the metal, idk im just pissed off at this right now lol

hold the door handle up as to open it, then pull the latch out, then grease it with real grease, work it in too.

now after i try all this, is there a reason this is happening? do i need to replace something?

it could be frozen from the cold. the hair dry idea cant hurt.
or the latch is messed up inside the door. thaw it out good, grease it up good. see how it goes.

The latch on my GP did the same thing. I just pushed it back down with a finger tho.

hair dryer and this special wd40 worked just hope it doesnt keep happening....probably will tho

There could be old dried out grease and dirt in there causing it to not move smoothly. If oil or grease doesn't work, you will have to clean it and re-grease. Maybe shooting brake clean in there wiping what you can and letting it dry and re-oiling will work.
