2003 Ford Mustang cobra has a stalling problem, this happens when decelerating, or shifting into neutral when stopping. This presents a serious problem, such as rear-ending someone, since you loose power braking and steering. There is a supposed fix for it, (a computer reflash) which I have had twice, but it just plain doesn't work.
2003 Mustang. While driving in a hard down pour I went through a puddle causing the breather to suck up some water and blowing my engine. I went to the dealer and they told me Ford would not fix the problem. It is still under warranty with less than 20,000 miles. They also informed me this has happened before to others. It has stalled on me before while driving in the rain.
2003 Ford svt cobra new with 850 miles has stalled during deceleration eleven times to date causing a very dangerous situation since you have no engine power for acceleration, brakes or steering. I have just missed being in several accidents that could have been fatal to me and others. Ford svt keeps saying they have a pcm reflash and a TSB coming out in two weeks that will fix the problem. However, they have been indicating that for months and are obviously trying to avoid resolving the issue. There are many documented complaints on the svtperformance. Com board in the terminator forum including mine in addition to calls to svt on their hotline @ 1-800-367-3788. Please investigate this serious issue with Ford before someone is killed or seriously injured. Thank you.

My 2003 Ford Mustang cobra stalled as I was getting off the freeway. When I hit the clutch after decelerating, the car stalled causing me to lose brakes and steering.

2003 Ford Mustang svt cobra. This is my second 2003 cobra (the first was involved in an accident). Both cobra's have and had problems with stalling, which causes a near complete loss of braking power (the brakes must have the engine running in order for them to work, unlike some vehicles), which is potentially extremely hazardous to my safety, as well as any other vehicle, pedestrian, children, or animal near me. It happens on deceleration at low speeds driving around town. There is a massive amount of documents going on that shows nearly 40% or more of 2003 cobra owners are having the same issues. .

Potentially dangerous situation when 2003 Ford cobra stalls upon deceleration and brakes become inoperable. Almost crashed multiple times. If I get into an accident because of this I will sue forward as they have not recognized this as a problem.
Frequent stalling when in a deceleration mode - coasting up to a traffic light - pressing in the clutch while braking. The idle speed drops to about 500 rpm, and then either catches itself and idles up, or does not, and stalls out. This has happened in turns, and this heavy car is hard to turn when the power steering is inactivated by the stalled engine.
2003 cobra. Vehicle stalls during deceleration. Typical scenario involves light to moderate braking while out of gear. Clutch engagement will not recover car. Brakes rapidly fade and vehicle loses steering capability. Occurred at least 2-3 times a week from date of purchase, July 02. Abated during winter months and retained in spring. Dealer duplicated stall but no repair available. Still stalls to date.
The car sometimes stalls and the brakes and power steering turn off. Very dangerous, I almost got hit by a semi truck.
Car stalls when clutch pressed down and brake applied. Loss of power steering and power brakes making car extremely unsafe.
Car stalls under braking. Getting onto highway from access ramp, I accelerated to 70 mph then touched brakes to slow to 65 and the car stalled. I lost power steering, power brakes, and acceleration. A car cut me off and I almost ran into the back of the vehicle due to the loss of braking power and tried to swerve onto the shoulder but the steering was tough due to the lack of power.
In December of 2002 I purchased a 2003 svt cobra Mustang from satcher Ford. This car had a number of problems which caused Ford to replace the engine, re-flash the computer, replace clutch. This car had a stalling problem that left me afraid to drive it. When you would depress the clutch, the car would sometimes stall. This would cause the loss of brakes and steering and nearly caused an accident. Ford finally agreed to buy back the car and get me another car, but I am having the same stalling problem with that 2003 cobra as well. Satcher Ford has indicated that they do not have a fix yet. Ford need to look at this problem because it will get someone killed if they do not correct it.
