    Err...what's the use of engine braking with a stuck accelerator? Putting the car on neutral would still allow the brakes work and can be slowly applied. I'm sure the ABS will help in slowing it down. Why complicate things and prolonging it by shifting gears? This is a 2010 KIA Sorento afterall with all the modern bells and whistles.
