FS2014 - EPC Light Issue

While I was stopped at a light, the EPC light came ON and the car started to shake a little. I'm not sure why but to me it seemed that stopping was one of the issues...so, in order to keep moving, I decided to backup and turn around to keep the car in motion. At this point, the car stalled. Safety wise, there were no other cars around me at the time. Luckily I was able to turn it back ON and get going but the EPC messaged stayed. I could still feel the shaking at every stop sign. I tried to clear the DTCs using VCDS but the EPC light keeps coming back. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be? I will try to read the errors codes tomorrow but figured I'd post in the forum to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Well well well, looks like I ought to have a word with the dealership on this jobbie. After hearing a whistling noise, I pop open the hood and learn that someone, somehow managed to splice the driver side vent hose (approx. 1/2" OD corrugated plastic) with some good old 3M electrical tape. See below! Shaking my head in extreme disappointment.
