Back door: linkage to the interior door handle may not be connected. Someone may have tried to open the door from the inside at the same time someone was trying to open it from the outside (kids) and stripped the gear to the interior handle.
Trunk: Have you tried using the key before? You may not have the correct key (something may have been changed) or key is worn (unlikely since car is only a year old). Do you have more than one copy of the key? Remote may need programming. Do you have the owners manual? The person at the Ford dealership parts counter may be able to help for the price of windshield wipers.
Where did you buy it? Is there a warranty? Do you know the previous owner?
