Description of the problem	While driving at a speed of 45 miles per hour , all of a sudden in the dic a esc active started flashing and my car start losing speed and it felt like the traction kicked in. I immediately looked down to make sure it had not jumped out of gear. It was in the correct gear. The esc active went away after about 45 seconds, and about a mile down the road it did the same thing again and i had to put on mu emergency flashers and pull off the road. By the time i got it to the side of the road , the steering wheel started to lock up and it act like it did not want to stop when i applied the brakes. By this time the speed had dropped to about 15 miles per hour. The road conditions when this happen was dry , and the tires and the brakes on my car was in good working condition. Once it was towed to my house i drove it around my neighborhood about 5 times and nothing happened. I am too scared to do in highway driving of this car, because if it happens while i am on the interstate driving i could possibility be in a accident if this happens. I have read other reviews about this happening , but have not got any reasons to why this is happening. The car has roughly 87570 miles on it. I will be contacting the chevrolet people tomorrow, before i take it to a repair shop.
