Just got a 13 hatchback with 42k... problem already...

So just got this car sat. evening and this morning (Mon.) I went to open the back hatch and it won't do anything... Luckly I let the seats in the back down, so I could still get to everything... But yeah... Any ideas what I might could be?

http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/maintenance-care/4926-hatch-wont-open-tips-2.html Maybe that'll help? Seems to be a common enough problem. I hope you get it fixed. I'd be lost without my hatch being able to open.

That happened to me on Saturday but yours is more likely an actual problem. I pulled into my drive and left the engine running while my wife got out and went around back to get something out of the hatch. It wouldn't open even when I hit the Unlock button. Then something occurred to me, and I pulled up the handbrake just slightly and then the hatch would release.
It's as if the vehicle programming determined it wasn't safe to open the hatch while the engine was running and no handbrake.

hello there,

get your 10 posts in and you will be able to see the forum in its entirety.

I did have that happen when i pulled the fuse for the hatch.

I ended up disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes, upon re-connection everything is a-ok, it must lose its marriage in the BCM somehow
