This is a 1998 Ford Contour LX. While driving on the highway, the car suddenly started rev'ing the engine, accelerating sharply and shifting so hard the car would jerk. The Check Engine light came on at the same time. I took the car to a Ford dealer. They ran a diagnosis, found a 'hash shift' concern and reprogrammed for that. They also found a vacuum line off and re-attached it.

Luckily the dealer was great and even though warranty was up we only paid for the labor, no problems since and works smoothly, at least as smoothly as a Contour will.
