Mine has had that problem since about 1986 when I lubricated it with silicone spray. Perhaps a spring broke inside at the same time. I have not been able to get the lock apart as the bolts/screws are torqued really tight. I know it is not corrosion and have not had luck with penetrating oil etc.

I have gotten used to this and just reach around inside from the pasenger door or use the key at the same time as the lever.

Good Luck
