During morning commute on highway multiple warning lights came on, including electronic stability control, emissions, lane departure, and power steering. On rapid acceleration vehicle had pronounced power loss, which obviously could be dangerous. This is the second time this very thing has happened to the vehicle. It's at least the 4th time multiple warning lights have come on, and the second for the loss of power on acceleration. The dealership consulted Acura technical support the last time and said they had identified and fixed the problem.
