Anyone find directions for a Toyota to stop the engine, since the quoted ones were for a Nissan? If they are similar, I can see that someone unfamiliar with the car (like they might have been since it was a loaner) might not know how to stop the engine. In any case, putting the tranny into neutral would have stopped the car from accelerating. With the pedal stuck the engine would rev, either the RPM limiter would kick in or the engine would go eventually, but they would have had power assist for brakes and steering.
