I just picked up a 2002 s60 awd on Friday. I went to pick up my best friend for a drive. I had the doors locked, so when he approched the car I leaned over and pulled the door handle from the inside to let him in. I instantly heard a pop, but the doorlock button did not pop up. I pulled up the button and he was able to open the door. Unfortunately, the interior door handle no longer disengages the door latch and he had to roll down the window to open the door with the exterior handle. Please tell me that this is repairable by me, inexpensive to have repaired, or a recall item.

thanks,
I'll bet getting in there requires special tools or very small hands. Though I'd rather not sound like a "girly man", I think I'll take it back to the Volvo dealer.
