Probably the outside handle is has the latch pieces broken I would pull both front door cards off to compare the two. They should be the same just kind of like a mirror image of the other and see what's missing on the broken one. Chances are you'll just need a new handle assembly

Take your door panel off, and check the rod that connects to the outside handle. It could be as simple as hooking the rod back up, and possible replacing the plastic clip holding it in place, and that could be what your hearing when you slam the door
