Default Frustrated with my 09 journey

I have an '09 Journey that is giving me fits. 4 main issues st this point in time. #1 Rear lights go off intermittently, right now it's just the brake lights, but it has been all of them at one time. #2 ESB/BAS light comes on. Sometimes it's when I first start the car and I push the brake to switch gears. Others, it's when I'm driving down the road it just comes on. #3 when the ESB/BAS light comes on, I can't shift. We watched a video on working around this, but it is a total pain to do this all the time. The only thing that releases the shifter is by pressing a bright pink lever backward in the shifter box. #4 The rear back up camera works like once a month. Just randomly comes on. Sometimes a great picture, others not so much. I drive for a living, and need to get this figured out. Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated. I can't afford to take out tp a dealership right now.

maybe a bad brake switch? the switch signal is needed for the shift interlock solenoid to shift out of park and the rear brake lights. codes will be set have them read and post the codes.

Default Thank you,

Do those go out frequently? I replaced that about 5 months ago. I wouldn't think they would go out that often. Bit I honestly don't know much about cars. I just have to learn fast.
