I PURCHASED A NEW 2003 FORD MUSTANG COBRA ON CHRISTMAS EVE 2002. AROUND 2000 MILES, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVABILITY. I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BE A LITTLE QUIRK THAT WOULD WORK ITSELF OUT DURING THE BREAK-IN PERIOD. *AK NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT HASN'T. THE FIRST PROBLEM BEGAN WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND HAD IT INSPECTED AT 6,000 MILES. THE ENGINE BEGAN STALLING DURING DECELERATION AND ALSO HAD POWER CUTTING OFF DURING TAKE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A DAILY OCCURRANCE SINCE THAT TIME. THE CAR NOW HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS RECURRING PROBLEM HAS HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP SIX DIFFERENT TIMES WITH SIX FAILURES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 12,000 MILES. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOW CYCLING WHERE IT BLOWS NO...

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.

2003 FORD MUSTANG COBRA - ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIED, LEAVING NO POWER ASSISTED STEERING OR BRAKING. LUCKILY, NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. SVT DEALER REP STATES THEY'RE AWARE OF PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. HE RELAYED POSSIBLE DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ALTERNATIVE AT THIS TIME OTHER THAN TO PARK VEHICLE.

2003 FORD MUSTANG COBRA PURCHASED ON 11/08/03, VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHEN CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. OFTEN THIS HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES AND STEERING IMMEDIATELY STOP WORKING. CURRENTLY TO DATE NO ADEQUATE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK
