It amazes me that people don't think of turning the car off first when they go crazy. We have a Dodge caravan that goes nuts all the time...and the first thing we do is shut the stupid thing off. (I'm not very fond of Dodge anymore because of that van. )

Whoa..I strayed from the issue at hand. Sorry guys. >.<
The reason don't think of it is because you are supposed to put it in neutral versus cutting power to keep what control of the car you can; i.e. steering power is decreased heavily when power is cut, and depending on the type of braking system, you may only have a couple of pumps of the main brakes before they are useless. At high speeds, this is important.


If your Dodge is going nuts all the time, I'd have that fixed ^^/
