Problems Electric hatch Release

Has anyone else had trouble with the rear hatch release.
it seems as if not enough power is getting to the electric release motor any ideas???

Any help would be great

Cheers

Have you tried cleaning / lubricating the latch mechanism?

occasionally
sometimes it may start louder but eventually quieter until it will not make a sound at all

Mine was binding when I got my car. Just started poking around back there with the trim piece off, now it works just fine.
