I have seen this a lot. Deep water, snow etc can cause an intermittent issue. If it is not that you will need to test with a Tech 2 or hi-end scan tool to access ABS and then you can get codes/data.
Once you get a code, post it and I will let you know what to do.

I had similar issue but think unrelated.
Will share anyway.
My TC would turn off intermittently along with a dtc of injector 5 circuit open. Turned out with magnacharger, injector adapters, etc, coil bracket was pressing on injector (adapter) causing it to lose contact, which was sending a misfire code, which disables TC. Most of this is per Andy at livernois motorsports btw. Replaced injector adapter, adjusted coil bracket, and all is well this far. :) :)

Actually just remembered...
Also had this issue once before when I had toe arms put on and only had rear alignment done bc I'm not smart.
Everyone knows in these cars, that if you do rear alignment, must then do front. :)
So, with total alignment off TC became disabled, at least so far as I understood.
Just another instance where TC turned off by itself and would not turn back on.

Yeah it is strange.. It's fine now that the ECM was reset due to battery removal for more then 15 min.. Dunno maybe he was just moody

I had this exact issue. Turned out to be the ABS Right wheel sensor harness. Seems it is exposed to elements and the connections can carode. Since the stability control relies on the input from ABS, once a ABS sensor gets a fault, it turns off stability control
