When opening my door it needs a double tap most of the time.

Have it replaced under warranty. There have been several people that have had them stick or malfunction. Take it to a dealer and have them replace it...no big deal.

"Dealer replaced it same thing" Well, when you replace a piece of junk with the same thing... guess what? We've been down that road with wheels on the C7, and with door-panels on the C5, to give a couple examples. Sorry, but it seems to be the nature of the business, to a significant degree.

There is a little black trim piece that goes over the metal door strike plate. Try removing that and see what happens.
