If by Rear door you mean the boot door, then pry the land rover badge from the plastic and use some WD40 or similar to lubricate the handle (which you can push back down to gain access with).
If however, you mean the rear side doors, then this is more likely to be the door lock unit, and this can be caused by the actuators in the lock mechanism failing usually causing the door to remain locked. The boor door can also fail this way, as do the front side doors. Replacement requires the whole lock unit to be replaced at a cost of roughly £60 a lock, and a hours work. Helps if you have small hands.

SOURCE: rear guad doors won,t open

Get a can of WD40 or Liquid Wrench and use the plastic "straw" to spray into the lock mechanism area.

You might add an "extension" to the provided straw using a regular soda straw.

Use you leg muscles to push open the stuck doors. (Push, don't kick)

Rear passenger door won't stay closed

Door latch on door itself is in closed position if it will not close at all. In this case, open door and pull outside handle hard to pop open door latch. If you have door opening at random, door latch needs replacing or door catch on body is loose.

Why wont the rear door open on my 2009 gmc acadia

from inside or outside ? if won't open from inside your child safety lock is probably tripped. if won't open from outside you probably have a lock rod that popped off inside the door, in which I would have the dealer fix it, it involves taking door pad off and when you can't open door to take pad off ,most of the time it damages it.
