engine shut off when driving.
When I was driving on the hwy, there was a downhill section, so i put the car in neutral (automatic). A few seconds later, there was a light on the speedometer, but I'm not sure what it was and the steering wheel was almost locked and the gas pedal didn't work either. So I pulled the car over to the side of the hwy and started the engine again. Then it was fine.
What's the problem with this? Anyone else ever have the same experience?

neutral drop, dont ever switch gears at higher rpm's. if your car didnt cut its self off your engine would have went pop! which means you need to buy a new engine.

Tried this the other night... (because of this thread of course) Down hill in 03 Auto shifted from D to N. RPM dropped from 600-700 to 500. No problems, didn't stall. Stopped at the light and shifted into D; and I was off...
