Seems like a faulty switch... Known to fail at some point, go visit the service dept. at your dealer to have it replaced under warranty.

Ok, I have a stupid question for you. Are all 4 of your doors unlocked when you try to open with the soft button on the hatch? If not, it won't open.

The answer is yes all doors are open, but the hatch release doesn't work on the tailgate, only the remote and the interior release in the center console'dash work!!!!!
