Have you tried any type of penetrating fluids? As far as the hatch goes make sure you spray in to the key slot.

I've been reading on here and it sounds like the actuators are bad no clue on the hatch though. Haven't sprayed the doors with penetrating oil yet but I plan on it. Sounds like it could be intricate parts close to the outer handles.
