The back hatch door does not open even if the open button on the keychain remote is pressed the required number of times. Even the button on the inside of the driver's side will not open the hatch door. The only way to manually open the door is to pry off a small panel on the inside of the hatch door and press a lever. There is no external way of opening the back hatch door. This could be a major hazard especially in an accident in which the hatch door is the only way out. It is unlikely that anyone inside the vehicle will have a tool or maybe time to pry off the inside panel to access the lever to open the hatch door in an emergency/accident. Anyone outside the vehicle would not be able to open the hatch door manually. Of course, no attempt was made to see if the hatch door would open while the vehicle was in motion.

Lock actuator for passenger side rear door lock is making loud noise when locking door. This noise is identical to noise made by passenger front lock actuator before failure. Replacement of previous actuator cost about $400. There is no way to lock doors to secure vehicle without energizing this actuator.
