Description of the problem	As i approached a stop sign, my check engine and vehicle stability control lights came on. I was less than a mile from my destination and was able to safely park my vehicle with no issues. As soon as possible, i contacted my local toyota dealership to alert them to the problem. The dealership representative asked if the vsc light was flashing and i told him no; to which he replied it would be okay to drive. Later on that evening, i decided to take the vehicle to the dealership and upon taking off at the light, the vehicle seemed sluggish at first and then suddenly accelerated and surged forward. When i pulled into the dealership, i explained what happened and am now awaiting to see what the problem is.
