An engine can fail at any time. Also, if your alternator goes, the car will no longer recharge the battery which means that the car could die after the battery runs out of charge.

If you're looking to manually turn off your engine while in motion, the only safe way to do it is to shift into neutral and turn the key to the off position. This can potentially damage the engine, so only do it during emergencies.

How do you turn off the automatic headlights on 2000 grand am GT?

You cannot actually turn off the lights while the car is driving or in any gear but park. If you would want to turn the lights off while you are parked for some reason, put the car in park, turn off the car completely, pull the emergency brake up, then restart the car. This overrides the headlights and they will stay off while the car is running-however, as soon as you release the emergency brake- the headlights turn back on.

They usually don't do that, but if you turn the car off while they're still going, they might get stuck that way. To fix that just turn the car back on. They should go back to the "down" position, then you can turn the car off again.
