The shifter problem can be delt with the use of the emergency brake. You'd pull into a parking place, and with your foot on the foot brake, pull up the ebrake, put it into park and then take your foot off the pedal. In other words it's the weight of the car leaning against the tranny which causes the problem.
I guess that's more of a coping mechasism than a real fix. I don't know what causes that, but I've had at least a few cars that've done it.
I'll wait on what others say about the rear seat latch, as I have the same problem with the release on the 245.
