My power rear sliding doors and rear power liftgate, will not open when I use the key fob or the overhead buttons. When I pull on the door handle or push the button inside near the door they work fine. I have pulled the fuse to reset the system but still no go. Has anyone had this problem? and found a solution?

Hello and good day Dale:
Have you checked all of the Fuses?
Try this Disconnect the Negative Battery Post Cable...Wait 5min...then check the system...The PCM May have a Hic-Up!

Yes the fuse is good, the doors do operate, just not with all the buttons. Weird I know. I have also replaced the battery (it was tired) so it was disconnected for over 5 min. Still nothing. Thanks for your idea.

hmmmm!
The only thing I could think of is a bad Switch or a low battery in the Key Fob!
Have you taken it to your local Dealership, to have them diagnose this?

Did you ever get a solution to this? I have the exact same issue.
You need to reprogram it. The steps listed are:
Make sure all doors are closed
1. Turn the key from Off to Run 8 times (in 10 seconds)
Doors will lock and unlock
2. Press the button for one of the doors on the remote (within 5 seconds)
Doors will lock and unlock again
3. Turn the key Off
Doors will lock and unlock again
Press a button for one of the doors again (or an overhead button) (within 20 seconds), this time the door you pressed the button for should open.
The problem should now be gone, if not try repeating (it took me 3 attempts this morning)
That's great! It worked. It took me a few tries but now it works like a charm! Thank you! I had problems with the liftgate as well but this solved that problem too. Hurray!
