In either of these cases it would indicate a failure of the control system.

I asked earlier for you to try finding a safe place to coast with the engine off. Now that I think about it. I have no idea how one would do that with the pushbutton system. Is it possible?

3. If it can be done, again, how does it compare to the failure you experienced?

4. Sitting in your driveway with the engine off, how does the resistance to turn the wheels compare to when you pulled over?
Press and hold the button for about 5 seconds with the clutch in and it will turn off while moving. I've had to do this to test something else completely unrelated to the matter at hand.
