I had the same problem happen to me dude! I just kept locking and unlocking it and trying to open it from the inside and outside. Finally it came open and worked, but I took it to the Dealership. It turned out that the door hinges had become worn allowing the door to drop down. That in turn wore down the latch parts. Cost me about $150 to replace the latch and stuff. I didn't replace the hinges as I figured it would take a great deal of time for the latch to wear out again. Hope this helps.
