Glad it was fixed in a timely fashion. She must be really strong. Also, the button really is not supposed to move more than a tiny fraction of an inch. It can be tricky to get the timing of pushing on the door and releasing the latch. Especially if I am parked close to something and want to be careful opening the door.
I am sure most people think you the door open with the button like a mechanical latch. I feel bad for her. She likely was distraught. I hope you gave her ice cream.

Got to say, that's the first time I have heard of that problem happening. Good luck with the repair - hope the dealer can get the door panel in a reasonable period of time.
