I stuck a end of a bungee cord in there to haul something now it will not lock
First try unlocking the rear hatch again. If you look closely at the latch. You should see what looks like a "U". Is the "U" open in the inside area? Do you see what might look like a hook that is blocking up the middle and preventing the striker from sliding into place. If you notice that the hook is blocking the hole and hitting the hatch release button didn't help. Either the bungee cord somehow aided in the latch getting damaged or the hook needs to be assisted and pulled back in the released position. To attempt this service. Get a helper, stick a philips head screwdriver through the hole of the hook and apply pressure towards the opening of the "U". While you are applying pressure ask your assistant to hit the open button for the hatch. If after the second try there is no positive result. More than likely the latch will need to be replaced. Good Luck.

I believe there is a recall for that feature. but i am not 100% sure. it was recalled on 2004 rendezvous
SOURCE: Rear hatch will not open but only with the remote
THEIR IS A BAR THAT RUNS FROM THE HANDLE TO THE LOCK AND THEIR IS A PLASTIC CLIP ON EACH END THAT SECURES THE ROD TO THE HANDLE AND LOCK, OPEN THE DOOR AND TAKE OFF THE INSIDE PANEL AND YOU WILL SEE THE BAR. IF THE PLASTIC CLIP BRAKES IT WONT WORK MANUALLY THE CLIPS YOU CAN PURCHASE IN ANY PARTS STORE USUALLY IN THEIR HELP ISLE. THAY ARE LIKE 6.00 FOR A BOX THE ONLY WAY THE SELL THEM IS 15 TO A BOX
you can ask any wreaking yard what all will interchange ( they all have interchange books)
