I may have missed this in an earlier but I just left the dealership looking like a fool. When the rear window lock is on the rear window switch is deactivated too. If I save one person the time of going to dealership we all win.

This is so annoying! I had my rear window down, and when I figured out I needed to open the trunk, I got into a really weird situation. The trunk opened a little bit - just enough to look unlocked, and moved only a few inches. That's it! I can't close the rear window, and all I can do with the trunk is push it back really hard.

Plus, I can't understand why the window sometimes won't open at all. Most of the time, it only works when the car is turned off. The whole experience is pretty terrible.

Found if the rear window is cracked or down any amount the power rear door will not work.
I found the power rear hatch door won’t open while the truck is in park and idling. I was picking up items at a lumber yard parked the truck while letting it run, I went to open the rear hatch and I had to manually open it. It was heavy and hard to open and close. Not sure why the power hatch is disabled while running and in park.

Something isn't right in that situation. I open mine all the time while the vehicle is running. Sometimes from the dash button, sometimes with the actual button on the hatch, but I do it often.

Dash button works all the time.... Hatch is a pesky, nasty one
