Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Mercury Mystique

When you have traveled 30mins/15 to 18 miles the car began to slow down/the speedometer began to drop even though you are pushing the gas peddle and the rpm gauge is waving back and fourth. It happened on 09/25/15, 10/08,13,14/2015. I was traveling 60mph and 45mph.

: the contact stated while traveling 70 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the rpm's revved, but the vehicle did not respond. The vehicle was pulled over and towed to an independent repair shop where the overdrive servo piston seal and o ring was replaced. Five weeks later, while traveling 50 mph, the same incident occurred. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's residence and it has not been seen by a mechanic.

Car was parked in motel parking lot. I entered car at 6:55am to move car by our room to pickup bags. I had my foot on brake, started engine and shifted into reverse. The car jumped rearward at a high speed. I had not put my foot on the gas pedal. The car hit a telephone pole (about 8 feet behind were the car was parked). My body went rearward when the car hit the pole. At this time, I had my hand on the shifter (floormount) and it pulled the car into forward gear. The car shot forward and slammed into a brick column directly infront of were I was parked. I tried to turn off ignition and hit the brake but I couldn't effect the forward motion. I saw the car hit the pole and my forehead hit the steering wheel. The airbags did not deploy. I was told at the hospital that you need to be going 35mph or faster for them to deploy. Don't know about that. I have never had any accidents before. I know that I did not put my foot on the accelerator when I engaged reverse. I could hear the motor revving higher than normal. I was accelerating when the car was going forward.

At a complete stop consumer takes foot of brake to accelerate. If at a slight incline vehicle would roll backward even though it was in drive. Dealer said that was normal for vehicle.
