Hey folks,

I noticed about 2-3 wks ago that the front driver's door handles (both the inside and outside) "stick" when you go to open them - - like there's a 'resistance' to it.

Car: Canadian 2007 Honda Civic EX (4-door) 5spd Gal. Grey

- The 'resistance' occurs when the handles are roughly halfway "pulled" (if that makes sense)
- It's worse in the warm/hot weather
- It is not as noticeable if you open the door - shut - open - shut in succession. If you let it 'sit' closed for 2...5..10...15 min + it'll start to do it again
- It's only the front driver's door
- the 'stickiness' is slightly noticeable when the door is open and you pull either of the handles (It happens primarily when the door is closed and one goes to open it)

Has anybody else had this problem?

Would it be a lubrication problem? Something not lining up perhaps in the door latch mechanism?

It'd be covered under warranty but I wanted to see if anybody else has been having the same issue.
