On several occasions, multiple warning signals at once came on while driving on average roads, acc, cmbs, check transmission, check air bags and others. The green d that shows the gear setting began constantly blinking. When I stopped and shut off the engine and started again, all the warning signal did not reappear. Within a period of about 3 weeks, this happened about 7 times. The car ran normally despite all these warnings.

Was driving at highway speed; suddenly noticed very slow car ahead; upon braking, car accelerated instead; to avoid head on collision to left, or rear end collision ahead, took to shoulder to attempt to slow car down; eventually got car under control again; have reached no definite conclusions yet as to cause, but have contacted dealer for help, as still within warranty.
