I'm not positive how the immobilizer works, but I believe it immobilizes the starter, which would only prevent you from starting the car. If it is connected to a fuel cutoff system then maybe it could be the problem.

I dunno much about torque converters, but that sounds like a good place to start. The fact that the problem only occurs when stopping or slowing and not during other driving rules out a lot of possible problems. How much must you slow down for the problem to occur? Is it only when you slow down enough that the car would want to downshift?

Does it only occur when slowing using the brakes, or does it also happen when you just ease off the gas and slow down that way?
