The locking mechanism on the rear lift gate for the Chevy Uplander has some plastic and rubber-coated parts that can get jammed. If you can pull back the panel from the inside top near the glass, you can reach down and try to spray some silicone lubricant into the lock. This could help get those parts unstuck so they spring back when you pull on the handle latch from the outside. Once you get the rear hatch open, I recommend taking out the locking mechanism and thoroughly lubricating it. Your rear lift gate will start to release very easily from then on.
The most common issue with strange acting or random function of a remote, IS THE BATTERY. Replace the battery in the remote before forcing anything or taking things apart. Good Luck!
try removing your shocks/struts for the lift gate. once removed, check
to see if they fully extend in and out of the barrel. You may have bent
shocks/struts. Also, check to see there is nothing preventing the
lift-gate from opening such as a bolt or acorns between the spoiler and
the roof...
check the gate suports.. its very common for them to rust at the ends and cause them to bind that will not allow the gate to lift on its own. a click or pop may be heard when the gate is opened or closed.. also if the supports are working right the gate actually moves away from the body when the latch is released. if its stays against the body then try the supports for the gate
