{: ) Try to disable the power lift system , there is an on/off switch located at the center console or overhead console. Then try to open it manually and see if it will hold at full open. If it falls back, then you have a weak liftgate strut, and you will need to replace both.
Or if you can't disable it for some reason, you can give it extra help while on its powerlift up but dont force too much. If it goes up successfully when you applied little help, remove your hand and check if it goes down. But if you feel that the liftgate wants to return back while halfway, remove your hand and let it be.
Was there a time when your liftgate is open, then starts to close and then reopens again at 1/3 on the way? The cause of this may be a sharp sheet metal edge inside the inner roof panel chafing the liftgate harness. And if you got B153 codes just in case, you may do some wiring checks and remove the panels at the rear roof area and look for that gray connector with 22 pins located under the center of the rear headliner panel.

07 Chevy Tahoe passenger rear door handle broke

a broken rear door handle takes only a few minutes to replace, whether it's the inside or the outside door handle. However i woudn't suggest you do it yourself if you are not really familiar in the trim panel removal, for you may damage some locking tabs or the finish. we don't need additional costs, right?

The rear electric hatch on my 2007 Chevrolet Suburban will open approximatley halfway then close. How can I fix this? Note - I recently changed the battery could that have something to do with it?

I had the same problem with my Taho as well. Turns out it was the struts that had to be dreplaced in the hatchback.

Took it to a Chevy dealer and it costs just over $100. This was done in avout 30 minutes.

Rear access open on 2005 Chevy Tahoe

I don't know if this will work, but at least it is worth a try. Spray some WD40 liberally over and into both tailgate latches. Try to get up inside using the straw extension. Open and close multiple times to work it in. I suspect there is an internal latch switch, which controls the display, that might be dirty, corroded, or just not working. Of course other causes are possible. I hope it works.
