Default Acceleration Problems after 70mph?

Hello, recently I've had a problem that has popped up 3 times.

I've only had it on the highway when reaching somewhere around 65-70mph.

After getting up around that speed all of my check lights come on and my car doesn't want to accelerate or accelerates at a very low rate, even when slowing down to slower speeds it continues to not want to accelerate correctly.

Each time this has happened I have exited the highway and pulled over somewhere. Turned off my car for a moment and then turned it back on and the problem was gone.

Vehicle Info:
2006 IS250 , RWD

Any ideas on what might be going on? Transmission? Had someone mention to me that they knew someone with a similar problem and it just turned out to be a sensor?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated before I look to get it serviced within the next few days.
Thank you!

This sounds serious, suddenly lacking power. Suggest you take it to the shop now.

Sounds like APPS sensor is going bad, or maybe the throttle body issue. Take your car to Autozone and get the codes checked. See if there is a pending DTC.
