I am having problems with my c200 automatic 1998 model , the acceleration is rather on the too slow side and this was after i took it for the general servicing, i noticed on my DIY attempt that i socket- in cable type was unplugged from an area right close to the air filter, when i forced it back in , the situation got worse and the car moves with interval jerks as if its cjoking on air supply or something

Windscreen wiper on Mercedes C200 not working. Replaced it 4 years ago. Slowed down in cold weather - 2; then stopped.

you should check the connection to the main board and the connections to the motor for the wipers. these sometimes become gunked up, so when you pull them apart to check them clean them with sand paper or something that can scrub them like a green scratch pad

I have an 1998 ford escort with automatic transaxle , as i was driving along i notaced that when i would slow down there was a vibration but not when i would accelerate then it began to shift hard then...

Well a trans shop would need to look at it but I would suspect the valve body is having a problem. It is inside the trans so a shop needs to look at it anyway.

Lack of accelerating performance

this could be one of many problems or even a combination, most common are: clogged air filter, clogged catalytic converter, malfunctioning ECM, faulty mass airflow sensor, plugs/wires. take the vehicle in to have it diagnosed professionally. hope this helps.
