What should you do if the accelerator stick in your car and you decide to turn off the engine?

If the accelerator stick in your car, safely shift the vehicle into neutral to disengage the engine from the wheels, which allows you to maintain some control. Keep your eyes on the road and steer to a safe area to stop. If you decide to turn off the engine, do so only after the vehicle is in a safe position, as turning off the engine while in gear can lead to loss of steering control. Finally, call for assistance to have the vehicle checked and repaired.
