The near stalling when you push the gas pedal is a consequence of the air fuel ratio being off as the throttle admits more air to the intake. The causes of the "wrong" ratio lie somewhere in the fuel delivery system, possibly the ignition system, and/or issues such as vacuum leaks which allow unmetered air. If you want the cause of the stalling pinpointed by a certified Mechanic, dispatched by YourMechanic right to your location, please request an engine stalling diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will get this resolved for you. In regard to the warning lights related to the electronic stability control system(s), trouble codes will have been stored at the same time that the visual warnings (i.e, warning lights) arose. Those codes should be downloaded and the relevant vehicle systems then tested. YourMechanic can perform such testing but you should definitely fully resolve the engine stalling issue first and once resolved the mechanic can advise you regarding the vehicle stability control system fault(s). If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
