And the ignition recall vehicles are small, commuter cars (Cobalt, G5, Ion, etc), not large, heavy cars. These should be fairly easy to drive with the engine off.
Power brakes with no assist can be a bear since the leverage ratio is not set up for unassisted braking, but it will still stop you if you put some muscle into it. And killing the engine will leave you with several full pumps of the brake pedal before you run out of vacuum assist.
