Default Competitive Mode and locking up!

I was driving today in Competitive Mode for about 12 miles and went to pull into a Dealership Parking lot, not Chevy. And in the parking lot my car kept locking up at about 2-3 mph and giving me a traction control message across the DIC. Remember she was in 1st and Competetive mode at the time. I stopped turned the ignition off and restarted and no problem after that. Anyone have any idea what may have caused this?

Do a search on this subject. i read that the car should be taken in for service when this happens as it is a safety isue. Good luck!

Fix some connector in the steering column. Take it to dealer, that incident left a code, so dealer will see it and do the proper fix.

Took it in today and the Dealership said there was an update to my ECBM and it needed to be downloaded. I also had a torn CV Boot, weird . I dont know how that happened, also straitened my steering wheel up. Thank God for Warranty!
