2012 Chevrolet Orlando. How can I open jammed hatch?

SOURCE: 2006 Chevrolet Equinox Driver's door will not open the door

Sounds like the release rod came off of either the main latch or the inside release handle. My guess would be the latch since I don't see many problems with the inner handles. To check you have to remove the door panel. Follow the rod to the latch area. There should be a plastic type of clip that the rod came off of in the general area of the end of the rod. The rod may just push back into place.

SOURCE: handle on rear hatch door broke off.how can i open hatch door until i can get a new handle?

you don't. take it into a Hyndai Dealership and have the handle repaired/replaced. The rear hatch panel/cover has to be removed (from inside the vehicle) to access the hatch latch and open the door.. from that point the handle can be replaced/repaired.

It sounds like the handle has become disconnected from the mechanism. You will have to remove the inner door panel and reattch. It is not a complicated or difficult job but if you get a professional it could cost upwards of $100.

no.. common concern.. back handle breakes becausr of bad latch.. remove back panel from inside.. gain acess. will be able to open from there.. replace handle latch or both

SOURCE: the rear hatch door won't open. Could the locking mechanism be jammed or would this be an electrical problem?. please help.

It would be an electyrical problem, mosty likely the lock power actuator is defective
