Hey I just had a problem in my 08: While cruising on the highway, the throttle cut out, as if I took my foot off the gas completely -- actually I first noticed it when the cruise control shut down.
The throttle become randomly non-responsive; if I pushed it pretty far, it'd finally 'catch' and it would accelerate, but it continued to cut off randomly.
It did throw a MCU code and my check engine light went on. I fought with it on my 2 hour drive home. A couple of times I had to pull off the highway because the throttle would become completely non-responsive. When I pulled over, the car was still running at idle only. Only after turning it off/on did it work again.
The first day in the shop, they couldn't reproduce the problem. Drove it home; next day it acted up again, so back in the shop.
They couldn't repro again, but they did say that the brake light switch threw a code, so, thinking it might be related, they replaced it.
That fixed it; seemed the faulty brake light switch was messing with the throttle inputs. I read this same issue and solution somewhere else on the 'net, so check into that. Even though it was in the shop for more than two days, they only charged me for the brake light switch and labor; around $100.
