Vehicle was parked and rear latch was unable to open from button on hatch or key. This is a safety hazard not being able to open rear latch. I could not find any way to open the rear latch even from inside with an escape button.

Rear door is not opening , switch does not respond to pressing , you hear the unlocking sound and light turns on but door wont open , this is not an electrical door that opens by itself , this is a main issue since i cannot open the door to put my kids strollers , etc . By doing so much pressure in the door , i took off the handle and broke one of the pins . Is anybody experiencing the same issue ?
