ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLS WHEN COASTING IN NEUTRAL WITH CLUTCH RELEASED. CONDITION IS MOST NOTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHEN COASTING DOWNHILL. ENGINE STALL CAUSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO REVERT TO MANUAL WHICH MAKES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE VERY DANGEROUS. TS

#10000934January 10, 2003
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
SVT COBRA IS INTERMITTENTLY STALLING WHILE THE CLUTCH IS FULLY DEPRESSED AND DECELERATING TO A STOP. THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY AT IDLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT LEAST TEN TIMES IN THE FIRST 1174 MILES OF OWNERSHIP. OCCURS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY IN WARM WEATHER WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. TWO SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CHECKED THE ENGINE AND ONE RESET THE IDLE CONTROLLER. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE CONDITION, HOWEVER, THE STALLING PERSISTS WITH NO CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY, THE CONDITION SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE CHANCES OF A COLLISION WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL AND RESTART IN TRAFFIC.
