What is your question?
I was idling for about an hour at a friends house waiting for him, no issues or problems. Had it in park and was just listening to music. I go to drive, I pull onto the street and I lose my power steering and acceleration. Felt like you get in a car turned off and try to steer and press the gas. The engine was still running, and all my headlights, radio, heat, chargers, etc were working fine. The engine, oil and battery light came on. I pulled over and turned the car off, started it again no problem. Drove 10 seconds and same deal as before. Turned it off, waited a few minutes, and this time I was able to make it home but everything felt jerky. Today i tested the battery with my multimeter, no issues. Tested the alternator aswell, no voltage drops or anything. Checked the oil level, that was fine. Went through and tested every fuse, all are good. Any idea why the car would lose steering and acceleration, but no other electrical problems? I've never had this problem before.
What makes this problem better or worse?
I don't know

Hello, no - no idea what's going on. You'll have to have some professional testing performed at a shop near you. The trick is to test the vehicle when the problem is occurring. If warning lights came on, there should be diagnostic trouble codes stored in the engine's processor memory that may provide helpful clues to determine what happened and then what may have caused what happened.
