Driver's side front door requires alot of effect to open door when opening slowly

Has anyone experienced an issue with the driver's side front requiring you to pull the handle with a bit more force than any other door on 09 TSX ? I noticed it more when I open the door slowly. The door will open but most of the time it feels like there is something not aligned with the striker mechanism. I have had the striker fixed twice (part attached to frame on body) and a new door handle by the dealer but it has not helped.

I have experienced something similar to this on the driver and passenger front doors. It seems to do it when i pull the door handle with a slight upward and pull motion as opposed to a straight out motion. I just make sure i pull straight out on the handle now.

I have the same issue, but haven't mentioned it to Acura as of yet. It seems to only affect the driver's door on my vehicle.

I have the same issue and even the driver side front door does not open ,it doesn't matter how I pool it. Recently I haven't got this problem and I noticed ,this happens mostly ,when you press the unlock button twice for unlocking all of the doors. I decided not to have Acura fixing it and wait to see if I'll get this issue ,when pressing the button just once. I haven't got the problem for the last 2 weeks.
