Probably corrosion on the door pads. Seems to be more of a problem in hot & humid areas.

Pretty easy to clean:

Or just buy new pads. About $15/each.

BTW, you know, there's a manual release for the driver's door.

Open the hatch, then look for a pull-tab on the left.

There's also a pull-tab to manually open the fuel door.
