Driver side exterior door handle doesn't work.

The driver side exterior door handle does not open the door and has no tension on it, the door will open from the inside handle just fine and lock. Has anyone repaired this issue before? Thanks.

You'll need to get the door panel off to find out what exactly has broken. Could be the handle itself, could be the rod that it connects to, or could just be a plastic clip that holds the rod in place.

I would bet that the exterior handle is broke and needs replaced. It's a pretty common thing to happen and the handle is around $15 new.
