“2003, cobra svt convertible, the car stall when decelerating to a stop when the taken from a gear to neutral with the clutch in/out and depressing the brakes. The dealer was able to have this occur on a test ride, they had no answer to why this happens. They added a device that I have to push when this occurs so I can capture a picture of the cars computer is doing while this occurs. I have seen a number of other 03 cobra owners with the same problem. Ford needs to have a TSB on this soon this car has been in production over a year. …”
