If the tailgate of your Ford Escape is stuck, try using the key fob to unlock it or pressing the release button on the inside of the vehicle. If that doesn’t work, check for any obstructions or ice around the latch. You can also try gently tapping near the latch area while attempting to open it, or using a slim tool to manually release the latch. If these methods fail, consider consulting a professional for assistance.
How do you open the stuck rear door on a 2001 Ford Escape? Try wd40 under ouside handle into openings. Opens most.

A door that doesn't open can be many things on a Ford Escape. The latch can be broken, something can be stuck in it, or the handle can be damaged. You will need to take your Escape to a local professional so that they can look at the door.

when mine stuck, i climbed into the back removed the trim and manually pulled the release levers
Use a flat head screwdriver to pry open the latches
open tailgate and there will be two screws. upper and lower. upper by the tailgate latch.
I once had a 1987 that had the same problem! On the inside of the tailgate, at the top ends, there should be a small lever. You can flip them one at a time and it will un latch the tailgate!
Spray lots of wd-40 in the driver side latch, there is a mechanism in there that allows power to flow to the motor when the tailgate is closed. more than likely it is just dirty and stuck. Thing is you have to get the tailgate open.
when my 89 mighty max did this I had to push the tailgate in while I opened the handle. Once open adjust or graphite the connections
