The typical issue with Mercedes rear door locks tends to be linked to either the door latch or the actuator motor. If the door latch is broken or loose, the door won’t unlock. The door lock actuator is a motor that's controlled electronically to automatically lock or unlock a door, trunk, or rear hatch when a lock/unlock button is pressed on a door panel or remote. This motor is present on all the doors. When the actuator motor is malfunctioning, the door might lock or unlock sporadically, but not consistently. If this happens, you'll need to replace the faulty actuator, which generally costs between $300 and $350.
