Description of the problem	I was driving straight down the highway going about 50-60 mph and out of nowhere my throttle peddle failed to work. My car immediately slowed down to a crawl and i had to quickly find a safe place to pull over on a road with barely any shoulder. Luckily not many cars were on the road so i did not have to worry about a pile-up accident. The check engine light came on and stayed on while the cruise control light began to flash on and off. After turning the car off and waiting a few minutes i decided to try and drive the car again since i was in an area with no service and it was below freezing outside. The car started and i could use the throttle peddle and the car drove with no problem for about 5 miles before the same exact thing happened. Luckily someone drove by and i was able to catch a ride with them to get service and call a tow truck. This issue came out of nowhere with no prior issues to the car. This is a very dangerous issue that could result in not only an accident on the road because of the rapid speed decrease but also risks leaving people stranded like i was.
