thx @catshirt, I note this about my Camry: "Toyota Australia announced that its accelerator pedals are made by a different supplier and that there is no need for a recall of Australian made vehicles". Reading through the notes I see trying to turn the engine off while going effects various electrical sub-systems. Me, I'd try putting the car in neutral (auto). A couple of years ago the alternator blew in my car. The battery had enough charge to let me drive +30km home after a re-start by a local RAC. When I drove the car the three kilometres to the shop, the charge started to drop and battery failure light (alternator failure) clicked on. First the car started loosing systems: seat-belts, overdrive, ABS... etc. This continued, till I bunny hopped the car into the garage where everything stopped working. No doubt a sticky accelerator is scarier than the lurching I had in busy traffic, kept going till the end. Power steering was the last to go, then the engine itself.
