no year car told. the now lost free users guide is by year. made 1994 to present (even 1989 as legacy outback) no country told at all sorry cars not the same world wide.
open glove box, read the users guide? oops locked too>? most cars sold in USA , called wagons opening the rear gate hatch by accident driving kids fall the ground, or cargo hits cars behind you. (so is illegall that feature) and is never called a truck ever, in a wagon only on sedans. a hatch or 5th door it is named. In Europe then even call them 5 door cars. so I am confused. so all keys lost to the car. and can not drive it nor open any side doors and rear hatch is locked and valuables in cargo area to fetch, right? I say call a locksmith and pick the lock. the door lock(mechanism) in the hatch internal, is accessed from the inside of the hatch open.so no why to attack it that way.
If it is a lever it should be a cable. A button would be electric. There may be an emergency release inside the trunk near the door. It depends on what is damaged how it needs to be repaired.
Your rear door lock lever rod seems to have come off and is therefore not releasing the lock. You will have to open the inner door opener lever and try to somehow reach the place from where our lever rod has come off, manually release it, open the door, its inner door panel and put the rod back in its proper place.
Open the door from the outside and while open look at latch mechanism on door.
There should be a small sliding or toggle lever and it only has two positions.
Flip it to the other position...and this should fix it.
This is a safety feature to keep children from opening the doors from the inside...
I had the same problem on my 2003. Open the driver door all the way. Get on your knees just outside the door. Follow the plastic tub that holds the parking brake release cable inside the truck. Start from the release lever and follow to the end of the tube. There will be a metal lever that the cable was attached to before it broke. You have to pull that lever with your hand to release the parking brake. Very Important!!!...Hold the parking brake activation pedal with your other hand when you release the brake. Let the pedal out slowly when you pull the metal release lever. The pedal will come back very fast and you could injure yourself if you are not careful. Good luck!
In virtually all cars there is an emergency release mechanism located inside of the trunk. It's either a pull cord, or a means of twisting the release cable to remove the plunger from inside the fuel tank door. Look inside your trunk, pull back the liner if necessary, or feel around where the cable leads to the fuel tank door.
Once you diagnose the problem you will then know whether or not you will need to replace the release cable.
