Description of the problem	Throttle position sensor (part of throttle body) hazard! Random. The vehicle radio will shut off, all dashboard lights will illuminate (same lights illuminate when the vehicle is started), and then the throttle pedal loses the ability to accelerate even when pressed all the way to the floor. There is no acceleration/power what so ever! The vehicle will maintain a speed 20 mph. This has been confirmed as the vehicle is pulled off the road to safety. To correct, emergency exit to side of the road, place the vehicle in park, turn the vehicle off, and then restart the vehicle. This has happened on numerous occasions while driving at accelerated speed (40-60 mph) of which the vehicle was pulling out into traffic, while on the highway, and while accelerating after a stop light. This is a very hazardous/dangerous condition that has nearly placed me into an accident that could have ether severely injured or killed me by oncoming traffic.
