I recently purchased this Gr Cherokee Limited. I can lock all the doors with the remote keyless entry, the alarm sets, yet I am able to open the Liftgate by just pulling on the handle. The alarm sounds, but I am concearned that someone can get into the vehicle and do some damage. I appreciate any & all suggestions.

Sounds like the lock actuator isnt working. Can you lock it manually and it works? Do you hear a weird noise from the rear gate when locking remotely?

It will not lock with the remote or with the door lock inside the vehicle.

So it wont lock by means of power lock, what about manually locking it?

I am unaware that it can be locked manually. There is no Key access on the exterior of the Liftgate and I do not see any way to lock it from the interior of the cargo area.
