My '11 did this last week. Mind ***** for real. I switched them off and all is well. My rear hatch has a small rattle/knock sometimes, maybe the latch is intermittent or something?

I can't tell you how many times my hatch half-locks when I shut it. I've had to open and reclose it a couple times just to get it to latch.
