I find I cant open the lift gate with the dash button when sitting in the car with the engine running and transmission in park when doors are closed. If I open the door the button will activate the lift gate. I could swear that in the past I was able to. Whats going on?

Look at the settings. There is an option there, when you switch to P, the doors unlock automatically, when you switch from P to Drive, doors are locking etc. Maybe you've changed something and forgot about it.
 
Speaking of lift gate, I've had my CX5 for 1 year and only last month I noticed a lock button to the far right of the license plate lights lol. What other hidden secrets have I not discovered? Hmmm
Sorry for jacking your thread, but yeah I ran into the same issue and realized I had to unlock all doors for the lift gate dash button to work. I know you can change it but I've decided to leave mine like that. My doors unlock after ignition is off.

Are you sure you were in park because it happened to me but I was in drive with the foot on the brake and my wife waiting outside to access the trunk. I've learned my lesson since... :ROFLMAO:

I've set mine to disable auto locking and auto unlocking.
