C43 is stalling randomly and vibration at idle???

So I've had my C43 for about 4-5 months now and it just hit 65k miles. I've been noticing that the car is making a vibration noise from the front when I come to a complete stop with my foot on the brake. (its worse when its cold and hasnt warmed up yet.) The minute I let off the brake and the car starts to move the vibration noise goes away or if i throw it in neutral it also goes away immediately. Maybe a bad motor mount/transmission mount???

Trying to get an idea of where to start. Also have a BAS/ESP & ABS light going off intermittently. Maybe wheel speed sensor or brake light switch.

Finally car has been stalling on me when I'm at a light waiting to go...only happened a couple times...was able to throw it in neutral and start it right away.

Just looking for some ideas of what to look for...Any tips or help is greatly appreciated.

the vibration at idle is most likely engine/trans mount
