[QUOTE="Shamfula, post: 1064087663, member: 137986"] In case you are afraid of unintended unexpected acceleration and also you have an automatic transmission automobile, listen up. You can change into neutral and it won't damage your engine. Not only that, but it can help to save your life and the lives of others. Are you looking to sell or purchase a used or new automobile?

While relatively rare, the mainstream media has given the ghost-in-the-machine demon stories of cars careening out of control wings. The answer, according to Popular Mechanics, is to change into neutral, even in an automatic transmission vehicle.

Either way, you could be saved from an accident by switching into neutral. It will stop the transmission from going whether you are pressing on the brake or not.
