Default "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" 'aint going away........

Okay, lets see how this works:

Key ON - - - Key OFF - - -
Power Steering ON NO Power Steering
Power Brakes ON NO Power Brakes
Engine ON NO Engine Power
NO CONTROL STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED

So, which was the right decision. No-Brainer
So, turn your key off Mr. Fox
