my mistake
...he / she

Toyota has had numerous commercial around here telling people to NOT turn the car off if or when this happens. That will make the power brakes and power steering not work efficiently. On some models the steering will lock when the ignition is turned off.

They are saying to put the car in neutral let the engine idle up (extremely high) and pull over THEN turn off the ignition. I am sure that would blow up the engine, but it sure beats dieing in a car wreck.

Seems like it is really a no win. I think I would turn off the car and take my chances.
