Has anyone experienced problems with elatch not staying open?

After only 2 weeks, when I press the "open" button on the C pillar, my rear driver side door pops open only about an inch then quickly closes to 1/4 inch. Not enough to get your fingers in. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks. Does it have anything to do with Child lock settings? All the other elatches work fine.

Yes, the pusher was clean. Took it to Ford Dealer to replace the pusher mechanism, but that didn't fix the problem. They now need to get another part and details from service people how to fix it. My workaround is to grab the door as soon as it pops open, 1/2 sec., and pull it open.
