The passenger window is linked to the problem also because they both go at the same time. It used to be intermittant but now its a permanent problem. the car does not have a lever to open the boot as with the earlyer models.
If there is no lever that means that the thing you grab to open it is an electrical switch. Your possibilities are a bad tailgate release switch, a bad latch assembly, bad latch motor (most likely integrated into the latch) or lack of power from a blown fuse. First check the fuses. Next make sure all the doors are unlocked and check for power and ground to switch and latch. If the vehicle has been in any accidents in that area you can also check for broken wires in the harness that runs to that area.

Maybe a little late here but i have a fix for this after turning down my dealers generous offer of a 750gbp fix i did some extensive googling and found this.... With your ignition on open the tailgate using the catch inside then turn off ignition and disconnect the battery for a minute. Reconect the battery and turn on ignition and let the warning lights go through their cycle. With the ignition still on shut the tailgate and hey Presto should be as good as new.
