THE ISSUE RAISES A SAFETY CONCERN IN THE CAR BECOMES OUT OF CONTROL THERE IS NO WAY TO KILL THE ENGINE OTHER THAN DISCONNECTING FROM THE CARS BATTERY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT IT MAY CAUSE PANIC AND UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS BEING THAT THE CAR MAY BE LEFT ON IN ENCLOSED PLACES WHERE THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO KILL THE ENGINE IN THIS SITUATION.
