2016 CX-5 Rear hatch button issue

[cyberized18]

I notice recently that the rear hatch is not locking completely.. but I recently noticed that I'm having a hard time opening it even when I unlock the car doors manually and also when I unlock the car doors with the remote.. sometimes I can have the car completely locked and walk up with the remote by proximity and I can get the rear has to open but not all the time.

Does anybody know what part the rear hatch button is to replace?

Tailgate lock actuator assembly. I would pop the cover off the inside of the tailgate and inspect it. All moving parts should be tight, bolts and fasteners tight, grease not dried out. Check any wiring connections. Make sure the bar that it latches to is also tight. Could be wore out and time for a replacement.
