Bongo Fury

Sometimes, but not all, I can be sitting in the back and when I go to get out the door doesn't open. It's as if it's locked as the handle doesn't fell engaged to anything. I've tried locking/unlocking with the remote but to no avail. It opens from the outside fine though.
Any ideas?

Hit it very hard indeed from the inside, about 10 inches below the handle. Not a gentle tap but a really hefty whack.

There's quite a lot on here about it, it's not uncommon, so if hitting it doesn't work do a search for something more technical.

Have you checked that the child lock isn't on? If it is, the door can only be opened from the outside.

Why didn't I suggest that before I suggested extreme violence?

Child lock Happens to me sporadically Its easy to knock into the on position inadvertently

Strip of duct tape over the switch is a quick cure. Not the most clever position to fit a switch specialy when the only way out is climbing between the front seats.

Yep child lock. Was always wondering what that switch did.
