Doors hard to open
Driver door is fine, but passenger and back doors are really hard to open. You have to put a lot of pressure on the handle button to open the door.
Doors actually swing open fine.
Any suggestion ?

It probably has to do with not using the other doors as often as the driver's side door.
You can remove the door handle and reset the adjustment screw as well as cleaning the door handle assembly which will fix the issue.
My daughter had to use two hands to open the door, but not anymore.
See attached for removal of door handle and adjustment of set screw. (Disassemble and cleaning of the parts are not covered but it's pretty much self explanatory)

I had the same problem as you, here's what i did:
Kepp spraying WD40 on the side of the button, continue to push and release the button for 1 min so lubricants can run thru those tiny gap into the mechanism.
Wait for few mins, then repeat above processing with WD40 silicone lubricant.

can someone pull that attachment down from P3? I've tried numerous times to get registered there and the confirmation emails never come through.
I have one button that is sticky as well. Have previously tried cleaning it, but may escalate it in the coming months.
