Parents have a 2005 Park Ave. In the last few months it has been acting goofy. Below are a list of things it has done.

The seat is always set all the way back. 3-4 times it has automatically adjusted itself while out of the car to move all the way up and to tilt all the way up.

Alarm has gone off for no reason perhaps a 2-3 times just from stopping and shutting off the car.

Lights on heater-air cond. have never worked since car was purchased later last summer. A few times they have come on for a few minutes to fad away again.

A month ago the Tire Low Pressure light came on in the dash. Tires all checked all good on pressure. When light is reset it come back on the next time you start the car.

The last couple weeks the Change Oil Soon light came on. Changed oil and filter, light still comes on every time car is started. Click the reset button like the Tire one it goes off only to come back on next time car is started.

Just the last 2 days it once did not start right away as usual, but took perhaps 10 seconds. It stalled a couple times and then finally got going.

Yesterday it stalled a couple times while driving. As approaching a stop light it stalled. Also a couple times as sitting at a light it would want to rev up and had to be careful holding the brake hard enough as the reving up would push the car ahead. Not that it would rev wide open or anywhere near it, but enough to push that car ahead with normal pressure on the brakes for a normal idle.

I do not know if these are all related to one problem. The heater lights could just be a poor light inside there. I wonder if the other problems are not a screwy computer in the car or perhaps a bad sensor? What are your thoughts on this guys and gals?
