I have a 2008 with the same problem. The sensor in mine was bad. The sensor is located in the latch assembley for the hatch. I unplugged it and that solved the problem. There is a small access panel you need to remove. I took the whole inner panel off to gain access. To replace the sensor you have to do the whole latch. The sensor can not be replaced seperatly. A preety easy repair though. The part is a dealer part and is around 65 dollars.
