That is not true.
The handle fell off on the inside. You can remove all the screws, remove window and lock controls. Then take a large flat-tipped screwdriver gently pry off door panel. Pull up and off when loose. You will now have access to inside off door and put the rod back in the handle hole. If the plastic holder piece is broke you will need another one. Cheap.

Driver Side Door wont open from inside or outside. also passenger side door wont close! Help

On the passenger door,make sure the latch isn't in the closed position(have someone pull on the handle while pulling the latch mechanism with a screwdriver)The drivers side is gonna be interesting.You might be able to get at the door latch mechanism by rolling the window all the way down,and use a coathanger or similar tool to operate the linkage levers that way.

Can not open driver's door from inside, have to open window and open from outside

If you are not mechanical, you can take it to a dealer for a fix, or a glass shop can pull the interior door panel for you. then you can find the broken or disconnected linkage between the latch mechanim and the inside door handle. Repair or replace that part and then have the glass shop reinstall the inner door panel. while you are at it you may want to replace the nearly 10 year old window regulator.

Google door panel removal tools and you will see items that look like small crowbars. They slide between the panel and the metal and pry the fastener out of the metal. You can also watch videos on the process on you tube.
