ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a jam resistant door latch assembly which is provided, between a central portion of an outside lever and a lock lever, with a jam-releasing lever of a linkage structure that serves to resiliently pull the outside lever to a normal unlocked position of the door latch assembly to allow a jammed outside lever to be easily released, so that when a driver or passenger only pulls a door handle toward himself or herself to its original position after simultaneously pulling a second rod member and a lock lever, the outside lever is moved to a normal unlatched position of the door latch assembly to actuate the release lever to open the door, thereby improving the convenience in using the vehicle's door and improving the vehicle's quality and reliability.
