1992 lincoln continental automatic transmission. Wouldn't go in gear. Turning it off and on it would go in gear until you starting going then nothing.
There are times when I am using my cruise control and step on the brake to disengage it that the car actually speeds up. I have to step on the brake several times to get it to disengage. It is quite scary.
