Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 TC-CPF overrun runway at Trabzon. All pax okay
A more prudent technique is to manually advance the thrust levers towards go-around thrust while pitching up as part of the GA procedure.
That would suggest you are the type of long disappearing pilot who likes to control the a/c rather than be a follower:
The solution is easily resolved by following the advice recommended in the Children of the Magenta Line video.
And that is "CLICK CLICK" disengage the autopilot and if appropriate the autothrottle, and without delay manually recover the situation to get back to the desired heading/course/whatever. Whatever actions take place after that depends on pilot discretion.

Yes, I have saved a few situations by losing the automation and going back to green needles, but I think in the vast majority of "what is it doing now?" while on automation a more appropriate reaction is:
-first, make sure the right mode is selected
-if that is not it, go back to basic mode (HDG/VS/SPD on the bus)
-if that doesn't work Click Click.
Off course if you find yourself diving to the ground and only have a second to recover it is different. Most of the time if you find yourself in a situation where you are not sure where the AP is going to, and switch everything off, you are making life much harder for your other crew member, who now has to solve the puzzle all by himself while talking to ATC, as you are going to be busy keeping the blue side up to do anything else useful.
Especially on the bus, unless you are already on an ILS switching the AP of doesn't really help much because you still have to follow the FD (there is no CDI in RNAV and nowadays you are not normally on any radial, if you have to follow the FD you are better of having the AP on as well...
Just my opinion.

Did not really get what you mean here. You must click click the autothrottle on every flight before landing anyway unless you carry out an autoland.

The authorities have all the players at their disposal, including the a/c. How can they not have discovered what happened by now? All this bar-room speculation yet some one must have all the facts. Where are they?
States in charge of an investigation must submit a Preliminary Report to ICAO within thirty days of the date of the accident, unless the Accident/Incident Data Report has been sent by that time. Preliminary
Reports may be marked as confidential or remain public at the investigating State’s discretion.

Nevertheless Turkey doesn't publish Aviation accident/incident reports.
They know which side of their toast is buttered and they're not about to walk over a country - and its airlines - who've put plenty of bread on their table.
I suppose if the investigating agency released something that blamed the manufacturer, and that the manufacturer felt was false or seriously misleading, the manufacturer could release some sort of rebuttal, but it would be carefully worded and blessed by a team of lawyers before it saw the light of day.
