Take off the cover on the back of the handle. Behind that you will find two nuts. Take them off and then you will be able to look at the back of the handle to see what is catching. Do not pull hard on the handle for it will break fairly easily. They cost $170 to get a new one. Once you get it off just spray it with some wd40 or something of that sort. Good luck

mine does that...but only when it is hot outside. sometimes i can get away with turning the key all the way and lifting the handle at the same time....but that only works sometimes.
