I had the same problem and it was a child safety lock that had been activated. Can't remember what the service representative did at dealership. There's something around door that activates the safety mechanism.

I'm curious what happened? I have a 2008 Saturn Vue and have the same issue with the rear passenger door. It is not a child safety issue that I know of.

Try an auto body shop, because it's cheaper. I do it all the time.

Ram the door with your sholder over and over while holding the handle up and pulling it will open. I had the same problem.

Why would any one (other than dumb ass automotive engineers) build a hatchback without a key operated option to the remote electric open/close???

with the saturn vue the door is made to open few seconds after ignition is turned off try that

you can always roll down window for few times to open the door reaching for the handle all my saturn vue did this
