The passenger side sliding door consistently fails to close. It will start to close, and then hesitate and stop as if something were in the door to stop it, when nothing is. We typically have to turn the power off and close it manually to make it shut. Also, when putting the van into reverse, the backup camera screen often goes black, and the only way to get off of the black screen is to shut the van off completely and restart it. When using the auto-up feature on the front driver window, the window will sometimes go back down as soon as you let go of the button. You have to hold the button until it completely closes. When you have the rear entertainment going through the main speakers and you attempt to change the volume with the steering wheel controls, it'll actually change the source that the sound is coming from. I think I've listed everything, but they're all electrical problems obviously. All of them except for volume issue happen randomly. The volume problem happens every single time. All of this happens whether the van is in motion or stationary.
