I have seen this before, but I don't remember what the problem was. Is the car throwing any codes?

The problem seems to be a fuel & delivery problem....which could be a number of possible problems.

Bring it to the dealer. Sound like it can be anything, like wilp99 say ias, brake switch, can even be the MAP, EGR Valve stuck, or May be the ECU.
