It sounds like the nylon nut which holds the handle in place is too tight. Try loosening that nylon nut just a little to see if the handle moves easier. Sometimes if they are over-tightened, the handle will be stiff and hard to operate.
My bathroom faucet handle (not same brand as yours) was so hard to turn that it pulled the base around with it on the vanity when I jerked it. I used an Allen wrench to take out one of the set screws holding the handle on, put the tiny straw of a WD40 can in the set screw hole, squirted WD40 inside the handle, replaced the setscrew, and worked the handle to and fro a few times to lubricate the inside. No more sticking!
how'd it get there?
driving on hard pavement will in fact get it stuck,
are you on ice or dirt. ?
if on pavement, it will stick on all part time 4wd cars.
its not AWD, so can not be driven on hard pavement.
only ice,snow, dirt.
if on hard pavement move to the dirt side of road and it will now release. this is called windup, and will damage the drive line.
if you keep doing this.
SOUNDS LIKE TWIST GRIP ON HANDLE BAR IS STICKING REMOVE IT CLEAN INSIDE IT WITH WD40 IF THIS DOES NOT CURE IT STICKING YOUMAY NEEDTO REPLACE IT GOOD LUCK
e: subaru legacy transmission dipstick
Transmission dip stick is behind the engine in front of driver side firewall. Move a few hoses out of the way, look down and you'll see it has a yellow top. Other side (passenger) lower down yet, again move a few hoses aside, yellow top handle, you'll find the shorter differential dip stick. In either case, if your gaze reaches the ground, you've gone too far.
OK you are on the right track, I would remove the handle assembly on the back and push the travel as far back as possible to look at the bolt for stripped threads. then what I would do is use some dry lubricant and spray the washer and the housing and let dry, after drying reassembly tightening the nut enough to hold in place and reposition the handle. then try again, it could also be messes up in the circular area but for that I would recommend taking to a repair center.
Remove the inner pannel. Then move the handle the connecting rod from the handle to the lock will move.Then pull or push the connecting rod helping the handle. When you get it open move the handle again if it moves freely then most likely the catch needs adjusting to adjust loosen the screws aroung the catch on the rear pannel move the catch out a little try closing the tailgate if it takes undue force to close then repeat moving the catch out until it is easy to shut simple rule is if it is hard to close then it will be hard to open! Leave the inner pannel off until you can easily open the tailgate with the handle as you may have to give the handle a helping hand to open until you have finished adjusting.
