Back up camera works only intermittently.

Transmission, 6 speed, drops into 2nd gear locks up rear wheels. I was driving at highway speeds and the rear wheels locked up. My van skidded into another lane and almost caused an accident.

The Side sliding door does not come with a standard child safety lock. My Child got out of their seat (figured out how to unbuckle themselves) and was able to unlock and open the door while the vehicle was in motion. Luckily no one was hurt.
