Door handles issue

Featured Replies

I have noticed that the front door handles require a strong pull to open the door. My wife and coworkers have stood outside of the car asking me to open the doors though they are already open... Comparing the front handles to the rear the difference is very big - the rear handle is soft and doesn't require any force to open the door while the front ones are like from a 20-year-old car... Here is a video I took today - 

 

 

 

Has anybody noticed something similar or even had a fix or could point out what can be done? The car is under warranty.

Sounds like the latches need adjusting or lubricating.  All of mine a fairly light to pull open.

I think mine are the same but my ocd level doesnt extend that far.

My mk 3 Octavia had the same issue so i guess the assembly at the factory is basic. As long as the handle work is proably the motto on the assembly line?
