Your driver's side door handle isn't working properly — when you pull the handle, the door won't open, but the power unlock button works fine. Additionally, your driver's side window has stopped operating correctly. This suggests a mechanical issue with the door latch mechanism or window regulator that needs diagnosis and repair.
