One likely cause would be a broken cable. I have had to replace one of mine when I could not open my drivers door from the inside. The inside door handle at the time was "floppy". It had broken on the end by the latch, this is where the spring would come from on the door handle.

You can do a search in this forum for other possible cures. Here is a link on how to replace the cable.
