Default NEED HELP 2011 Dub Edition Mustang Shutting Off

Not really a car expert got the car as a graduation gift. I love the car and it's always been perfect but recently when i'm driving usually in the morning I'll drive for no longer than 10 minutes and the wrench icon will flash on, then the car can't accelerate so I have to pull over and turn it off. Sometimes the service light will stay on. But it always goes away, and the car seems normal again. I took it to the shop today but I want to see if anyone knows or has experienced a similar problem so I can know what needs to be done. FYI it has happened at least 10 times already

THANKS

I would recommend stoping by a local auto parts store and having them read any codes the ECU may be throwing (they do this for free), then you could post those codes here or search the internet to find better descriptions and fixes

Isn't the car still under warranty? Take it to Ford, let them figure it out.

Could be a bunch of things..
Bad/Clogged MAF, Bad TPS Sensor, Bad IAT Sensor, any of those malfunctioning could (maybe) add to this issue..
