05 Expy Strange Starting Issue

Curious if this has happened to anyone else and/or if anyone knows what might be the problem or if it was just an electrical glitch. My wife started up the Expy this morning and it started but the check engine light and battery lights came on and she was not able to give it any gas. There was a little play in the throttle but the engine would not rev up. Same goes for the brakes, they were pretty stiff. Also the steering acted stiff. I had her turn it off and start it again and it did this the next two or three times and then she tried once more and it didn't show any of the check engine/battery lights and is running fine now. We have about 7,000 miles on it and at the time it was setting on a flat surface. Strange. Any ideas? Thanks.
