frown Mondeo LX 2.0l (yr 2000) issues when accelerating on Motorway(freeway)

Hi,

I have a year 2000 model Mondeo LX 2.0l (petrol) automatic transmission

After a recent servicing, the car has the following weird problem

When i start up the car in the morning, and drive 20 kms along the free way (at 100kmph) it runs all fine, smooth, no issues

however, should i decide to exit the motorway and then re-enter the motorway, the issue starts.

The car accelerates upto 80kmph, and when i try to push it over that, all hell breaks loose

the car bucks, jerks (like what happens when u drive a manual car at a high speed and then accidentally switch to a lower gear)

It refuses to go over 90 (the bucking increases to scary levels... like someone is pressing the brakes!)

i left it with mechanical repair specialists for a week, but they were simply unable to diagnose/replicate the issue

Anyone here with a similar experience?
Any ideas whats wrong with the car??

Thanks in advance!

If this has only started since the service, I'd be taking it back to whoever carried it out, or if it was yourself, recheck the work that was done.
