OMgaw! My car's accelerator is stuck! the VERY first thing I'm doing is slapping it into neutral. Then I'll try to save my engine with some immediate action and physically using my foot to try to unhook the accelerator if at all possible. By this time I should be onto the side of the road and then I'll turn the engine off.

yet another reason to get the MT instead of AT... Even at highway speeds in a MT you can safely turn ignition off, wait 2 seconds for rpm to die down, then put ignition to accessory which gives you power steering & power brakes.

i'd like to see how many of these deaths occurred on AT vs MT cars.

Honda's taking the high road about Toyota's problem, unlike GM:
