sounds like you may have a problem with the outer handle operating the latch, however if you take to your local garage for a code read this will show if there are any electrical issues

More likely an outer handle problem, there is a blank on the edge of the door when opened, remove this to acces screw which is released to allow handle to come out for further investigation.

hold the inside handle in the open position, then pull the outside door handle open, this should fix it, if not pull the inside handle open more firmly & it may click back into position

open the door,
hold the inside door handle in the open position
then pull the outside door handle, whilst still holding the inside door handle, until you feel the preasure change,
you may have too do this a few times
