On another note......when the accelerator gets stuck like that, sometimes it's best to simply turn the key OFF rather than fight the brakes and the engine. The power brakes won't work as well but they will work. Better than picking up too much speed and if the brakes finally heat up and fail, you're screwed....glad to hear you came out of this incident ok...must be terrifying.....Dennis
I agree, but make sure that you do not go to the lock position as that will lock the steering wheel. You can also go to the neutral position. Most newer vehicles have a rev limiter I believe. JMO
