The rods that connect the latch, handles, and lock are joined with plastic pieces.

Eventually the plastic degrades and they break.

You're going to have to pull off the door panel and replace the broken ones.

btw, theres your answer.. douchebag. :-)

if you cant open it from the inside OR the outside, then get a locksmith or someone with skills to do it for you. the latch mechanism is your friend, the handles are just long leverers with rods...

its all about the latch, proud2b3douchebag. :-) get that latch open

Take the door panel off and inspect the latching mechanism etc. You can usually bend something slightly to get things working again.

the rods dont need bending. the plastic rod-lock broke. this happens to lexus guys ALL the fucking time.
