Yep I had to replaced the bolt cause my door handle was falling out when I first got the car. Also just recently the washer that holds the little arm that opens the door on the actual door handle gave out too. I resorted to a zip tie. it works and at least i can open my door now.

it sounds like you have the all too common fc driver door handle failure.
take it out, you will find that it is probably broken...
