2011 Malibu Service Traction Lights

2011 malibu keeps giving me a service ESC, service Traction and at time will jerk when accelating. The codes PO106, PO107, and CO561 were found when read. Dealer told me to come back if it does it again to see if there is only one code showing up to be able to figure it out better.

Since there isn't a direct question, I will provide free advice. Codes mean something is outside of parameters needed for the vehicle operate safely and correctly as determined by the manufacturer. Follow the dealer recommendations, but do an internet search for ESC recalls on your specific vehicle beforehand.
