Default Driver's side door won't open.

I have read every post I could find on the forum about the Driver door will not open.
I find it hard to believe as many (and there are many) that has had this problem, that there is not some kind of fix. I mean everyone (and again there are many) that has fixed it, or had it fixed is different.
However it’s the exact problem I have.
The driver’s side door will not open from the inside or outside 08 C6.
The passenger side works fine, as well as everything else. I’ve tried two different Fobs, new battery in the Fob, I just put a new battery in the car a couple months ago.
The window will attempt to index, but it goes right back up.
I’ll take to the dealer tomorrow morning, but I have to think there has to be a common problem that causes this, instead of all these different things that cause the same problem.

I would like to add one more thing.
I had a new set of tires installed, plus one new TPMS sensor.
The guy's at Discount tire had a difficult time programing the new sensor.
There were sometimes four guy's taking turns pushing buttons with the sensor inside my car.
Finally one of them gave up, and went to get the instructions. Then it took three minutes to program all four sensors.
My door was open, when I drove off.
When I stopped the door would not open.
I checked everything is set like it was.
Is it possible the tool that sets the sensors could have something to do with the door?
