This is not an uncommon issue on this vehicle. However, we need to start with what codes you have as they can be different for this issue and most likely involve the accelerator pedal sensor or throttle sensor.

However lets check the codes first:

The reason we need to start here is because more then likely these sensors are going to check out ok and that means we have an ECU issue. If that is the case, there are many services out there that will rebuild your ECU for this issue and this will prevent you from needing to replace it and programming a new one. You can search online for these services.

Let me know the codes and we can work through this. Thanks
