What should you do if your vehicle's accelerator becomes stuck?

  1. Turn off the ignition immediately.

  2. Pump the accelerator pedal repeatedly.

  3. Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.

  4. Slam on the brakes to regain control.

The correct answer is: Shift into neutral and steer to a safe location.

If your vehicle's accelerator becomes stuck, slamming on the brakes may cause your wheels to lock up and result in loss of control. Pumping the accelerator pedal repeatedly may also cause the car to move faster. Turning off the ignition may lead to loss of power steering and brakes, making it difficult to steer and stop the vehicle. The best option is to shift into neutral and steer to a safe location, as this will allow you to slow down and stop the vehicle safely.
