Routine is to power off an engine in any car. Power brakes must work fine with full vacuum assist. Bruce would know that had he learned before posting. Steering might require a tiny more force on larger cars. And should require no additional force on small cars. Also called speed sensitive steering (discussed so many times previously). Bruce would know that had he learned before posting profanity to prove his manliness.
If a stalled engine requires more force to brake, then take it into the shop ASAP to fix a major human safety problem. These crashed Cobalts were apparently so badly designed as to lose brakes and could not be safely steered without engine assist. No properly designed small car (designed by engineers) has that problem. All cars, without exception, must have full power brakes if its engine stalls. But the emotional (not very adult) would post denials laced with profanity rather than learn how things really work.
Also looking forward for his clueless reasons why Malaysia Air 370 disappeared. Hopefully he will not repeat Mulder's X-file theories - that even claim a Cobalt would be harder to stop.
