Angry Check Emissions and Power Steering Error's

I have a 2016 MDX Tech with about 26k miles on it. I was driving the other day and the "check emissions" and "check Brake" , "Power Steering" error's started pooping up in Dash . I brought it to the dealer who said it was a case of bad gas. I am using Costco Premium gas all these 2 years but never encountered this issue in past .

Its really hard for me to believe the reason given by the dealer .

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did it get resolved?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Get the dealer to put it in writhing. Exactly how they diagnosed it, what they consider a proper repair, and what the cost estimate for the repair is. Go to Costco and see if they will pay for the repair.

Bad gas? At a Costco? I call on the dealer. Usually bad gas cases hit multiple cars, especially somewhere like Costco with such heavy volume. I'd be inclined to go back to Costco and ask if anyone else reported any issues. If the gas was truly bad, you aren't the only one who pumped it in their ride!

If you haven't already had it fixed, are there any other Acura dealers who could give you a second opinion?

Or just try pumping new gas at another gas station to see if that alleviates the issue
