My son drives this car and it has 225K miles (?). Today, he parked in the driveway, put it in park then decided to adjust his position. He put it in reverse, pushed the gas pedal and had no response from the still running engine. He put it back in park, then to drive and same thing, no throttle response and the steering wheel was locked. He put it back in park, set the brake then turned it off and back on. He could then move the car as normal. This happened once before at an intersection where he stopped for a red light and when he got the green, he pressed the gas and got no response, engine was still running. I wasn't around to come look at it so we had it towed to a shop and they couldn't find anything wrong. It was working ok for them.
We bought this car used in 2019, so no info about its history. I'm thinking its the ignition module because of the steering lock up??? And the throttle looks all cable so the no throttle response is throwing me off. Any ideas?
