Equipment problem #1

1st while driving the driver's seat continues to move back n forth from way back to up close driving this vehicle while this seat moves is very dangerous everytime I lock the doors they unlock n only lock when off.

Equipment problem #2

Can't register my vehicle because I'm told that the catalytic converter is not legal for use in California, and it is not available after an extensive nation wide search of different catalytic converter manufacturers. How or can you help me to resolve this matter.

Equipment problem #3

Passenger seatbelt locks will not unlock unless you unbuckel the belt it just keeps getting tighter have a problem where the you push down on gas it won't do anything for a moment then jolt forward an the main problem it with the electric if you barley touch the ignition switch or controls for the seat the seat moves the ignition also not only moves the seat but a couple times it has shut the car off and once locked us in the car had to put the keys in and start to get it to unlock and once locked us out with keys still in ignition switch.

Equipment problem #4

Vehicle will not shift out of park. Shift is locked into park and will not shift to any gear and depressing lever button and brake will not release out of park. I purchased the vehicle from huntington Ford in rochester hill and bought the extended warranty and was told by fords service department this is not covered and would cost $500. 00 just for the part. After researching this problem I have noticed other complaints about this issue that the car will not move out of park. This seems like it may be a defect because I have never experienced this problem out of many vehicles I have owned for years.

Equipment problem #5

While on the freeway my car started to loose power. I would push on the gas and the car would not accelerate. Since the first time this has happened on numerous occasions. And have taken it to many mechanics which fnds out nothing is wrong of course. Finally I find out this is a throttle position sensor made by Ford. And there has been many Ford cars and parts experiencing this same thing. This is definitely a safety hazard so why has for not recalled this? do people have to start dying before they do something?.
