Default It takes exactly 3 times of turning it over it fires right up on the 3rd try

So I just got this car about, 3 months ago, and the whole time we've had it you get in it, you have to turn it over 3x before it will fire up. But like ol trusty it will fire up on the 3rd time every time... We can't seem to figure it out. Like I said we just got the ol girl and she runs great she just has her quarks.
That be example 1. Example 2 if you try to put gas in it with it off, you can forget getting it start for at least 15 minutes, it's like it has no gas in it. #3 if she gets below a quarter of a tank, you can try and try some more, it will fire but it won't stay running it's like it has no gas. I was told it's like air is getting in the line.. I think that there may be trash in the bottom of the tank and when it gets low like that, it's sucking trash up in the filter..
Then there are times, like getting up on the interstate of the road veares to the right it does the same thing it's like it doesn't get any gas...
#4 you put her in drive and get going she won't shift out, you have to drop it in low and right back up in drive and she she shifts out fine from that moment on... But you have to do that first..
#5 the driver side window didn't come down, you can hear everything cut on the motor and everything, but it wouldn't come down. So I get on YouTube university and managed to get it to come down but now it won't got up it actually came completely off track... So if anyone can help with any of these issues I would greatly appreciate it... I have 1997 Ford Mustang Base V6 automatic

Your fuel pump might be packing it in slowly, I'd drop the tank and take a look at it especially the sock and change the filter out
