2008 QX56 Liftgate motor runs but the liftgate unlatches but wont open. I can hear the motor running and it makes a quite a lot of noise.

sounds like the motor is bad or gearing associated with the motor is bad. I would check the FSM we have posted here on NICOclub.

oh, sorry, Factory Service Manual...........shows you how to take the vehicle apart, shows where all the screws and clips are, EXTREMELY detailed.

The dealer mechanic found the connecting rod had come off so they put it back on and put some lock-tite on the nut. Motor okay.

Awesome! Glad it was a simple fix!
