This body style has a terrible issue with the liftgate actuator. You need to check to see #1) Is the relay clicking when you hit the unlock on your FOB. This is located in the fuse panel by the driver's left leg. #2) Put your ear on the liftgate and listen for a "clunk" when you hit the unlock button on your FOB. If you hear both, then most likely the actuator is faulty and doesn't have the strength to move the armature for unlocking, or in some cases, the armature actually is getting caught on its own bracket. Crawl into the back and pull the plastic out directly in the middle of the liftgate at the seem where the top panel meets the bottom panel. The latch is right there. By sliding your hand in, you can manually unlock the liftgate and if needed, unplug the actuator until you get it fixed for good. Hope this helps.
