I have a 2016 XC90 that is unable to open the drives side door. I can open from the outside but not the inside? Is this something that is easily fixable? It seems to have lost the tension on the inside. Please help

Probably the cable... will be on this level of effort (may or may not actually need new cable):

It's highly likely that the interior door handle cable broke or became dislodged. You should be able to tell, as there won't be any resistance on the handle when you're trying to open it from the inside. Fairly easy fix if the cable simply became dislodged, or you may need to replace the handle if the retainer clip broke. The door card removes via 2 screws behind a rubber cover in the armrest, and then you can access the cable and determine what happened. The cable has a barrel end, which clips into the handle with a retainer.
