The reasons why the passenger door cannot be opened from the outside are: 1. The remote key is out of power, preventing the door from unlocking; 2. The remote control malfunctions; 3. A fault in the door lock mechanism itself, such as the door lock cable failing; 4. The door has been subjected to external force, causing deformation of the door hinge or lock post. The solutions for a passenger door that cannot be opened from the outside include: 1. Using a spare key; 2. Contacting a qualified and professional locksmith service; 3. Calling after-sales rescue services; 4. Using tape to pull the window glass forcibly; 5. Removing the door's sealing strip with a sharp object and using a wire to press the unlock button through the gap.
This is a pretty common issue, I've seen many cars with this problem. If the passenger door won't open from the outside, it's most likely a door handle issue - either the handle itself is broken or jammed internally, preventing the cable from working properly. It could also be a problem with the lock cylinder, such as rust or wear, especially after frequent door opening/closing. If the remote key fob can't open the door, check the battery or try the manual key slot. In winter, doors can freeze shut - pouring some warm water helps thaw it out (don't force it open). Make it a habit to check door locks before driving to prevent bigger issues. Safety comes first - don't wait until something serious happens. Getting it inspected at a repair shop is the most reliable solution.
