My rear hatch is acting up, won't unlock with the button or key fob, but all other doors are fine. Anyone else seen this before? Got any easy solutions before I head to the dealer?

Hi @rockcrawlinrenegade I had the same issue before.
you need to check the fuse. even if other doors work, the hatch might have its own dedicated fuse. check your owner's manual for the exact fuse box location and fuse number for the rear liftgate or hatch.
also lubricate the latch. sometimes the latch mechanism just gets sticky. try spraying some WD40 or a silicone lubricant directly into the latch mechanism itself. work it in by trying to open/close it manually a few times
