Sounds like the classic symptoms of a bad throttle body. Have someone hook up a OBDII scanner first, as repair will be costly.

Did you ever find out what the problem was? Mine was sitting up and needed a battery. Now it's doing the same thing

Ours would generally run fine, but on random occasions totally fail to respond to pressing the gas pedal. Dealer says it’s the throttle body. Pricey repair.
