Police do have the right to search your vehicle for any reason they feel is justified. They may have a suspicion of illegal activity and pull you over to search the car.

In general, the presence of a felon in a vehicle does not automatically give police the right to search the vehicle. However, if there is reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or that evidence related to a crime is present in the vehicle, police may be able to search it, depending on the specific circumstances and applicable laws. It is important to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.
