Have the dealership check the operation of the Throttle Body Sensor (passenger side) or the Throttle Activator (driver's side) on the throttle body for proper operation...

I had a similar problem and found that I needed to replace the Throttle Body Sensor... After that replacement, the car ran perfectly!!!
