What is the reason why the rear door cannot be opened after unlocking the T-Roc?

The reasons why the rear door cannot be opened after unlocking the T-Roc are as follows: Linkage rod or lock cylinder problem: If you frequently use the key to open the rear hatch, the linkage rod may be broken, and you need to go to a repair shop to fix it. If you always use the remote control to open the rear door, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. Not unlocked: The remote key was not used to unlock, making it difficult to open. Before opening, it is best to press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. Mechanical part failure: The rear door itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other reasons causing the car's rear door to not open.
This is a common issue, and I've helped many friends check similar situations. First, check if the rear door accidentally has the child safety lock engaged, as many car models have a small switch inside the door that, once locked, only allows the door to be opened from the outside. If that's not the issue, try pushing the door harder or pulling the handle from the outside—sometimes it's just stuck or blocked by a small foreign object. Also, make sure the car key is fully unlocked and the battery has enough power, as a weak remote signal might only partially unlock the doors. The T-Roc series has a unique design in its door lock system, which can easily cause wiring to loosen due to vibrations, so check if a fuse has blown or look for connectors near the rear seats. If manual adjustments don’t work, visit a repair shop as soon as possible for professional diagnostics—don’t try to fix it yourself to avoid further damage. Regularly check door lock lubrication, avoid parking in dusty areas, and maintain overall safety.
As a vehicle maintainer, I believe that a door that won't open poses significant risks. First, focus on checking the child safety lock position. The T-Roc has markings on the door edge, and accidental activation can lock the internal switch. Next, test whether the external handle functions properly. If there's resistance or no response, it might indicate mechanical issues like a stuck latch or a loose handle. Also, check the key fob battery status, as low power can cause unstable electronic unlocking. I've repaired several cars where rear doors wouldn't open due to internal wiring short circuits, especially in rainy or humid conditions where sensor malfunctions can lead to misjudgments. Immediate action is recommended—don't delay, as it becomes dangerous in emergencies requiring rear door escape. It's best to visit a 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection, as they can quickly resolve T-Roc-specific electronic system errors.
I also encountered the issue of the rear door not opening after unlocking my own T-Roc. It turned out that the child safety lock was engaged, and I didn't notice it at first, thinking it was broken. Later, manually turning it off solved the problem. If the door can be opened normally from the outside but not from the inside, this is most likely the reason. Door handle dust accumulation is also a common issue; I just clean it with a soft cloth. If the key signal is weak, try replacing the battery. Since then, I've developed the habit of checking all doors after unlocking. Maintaining daily cleanliness and proper operation can prevent trouble, simple and easy.
