All you have to do is shift into neutral. Even when the car is going 90 mph. The engine will race frighteningly, but you retain power steering and braking, and can coast the car to safety with steering and brake.

That specific advice has been all over the news when this problem first came out, but guess some just don't really know how their car works, or panic (certainly understandable)
