Not sure about your case but my 95's, used to stick on occasion. The mechanism gets dusty and does not like to return to the normal position. If the part of the handle that you pull on is loose like when you pull on it there is no spring resistance, you might have the same problem. An open palm strike just above the handle sometimes jarrs it loose. Take the inside door panel off and blow out with air, and then lubricate the mechanism.
