If you are saying that once pedal is to the floor that releasing the accelerator pedal doesn't release the throttle then it's more likely a throttle sensor issue I would have thought? I don't see how else it could be 'frightening' being stuck in a low gear - as long as you have throttle control.

I was thinking the same thing.
If it is related to kickdown and gear changes, perhaps selecting sport/snow mode, the latter likely being more suitable, or even selecting one of the other maximum gear modes on the selector.
I wonder if the scary part is a running away with the power. Perhaps something to do with the inlet system. I have read of blockages somewhere within the V6s that can cause the engine to surge and accelerate unexpectedly.
