Sounds like a possible fuel filter. Bigger question - when was last tune up? With the different grades of fuel these days and with temps fluctuating a fuel filter would be my first thing to change.

how many miles are on your car ? will it start up after it shuts down or do you have to wait 20 or 30 min. had a problem like this with my own car it had 1600,000 miles on it. do you have any warning light on dash when this happen, if not, it's most likley it is the crank position sensor. it's about $60.00 at the dealership, not fun to put in. also could be a fuel pump problem, have a pressure test done on pump first before you buy a pump it is about $400.00 + $600.00 to put in. I haven't seen to many pump problems without a lot of other issue while driving. If warning light are on, have the computer scanned first.
good luck bro, i have done many CTS's like this and all turned out be the sensor.
Next time it shuts down, try the engine immediately but listen this time for the fuel pump to prime, you may have to open your door and listen toward the tank. If you don't hear the fuel pump, then that may be the culprit.
Sounds like your alternator is not charging your battery. Probably a loose wire, battery cables, alternator wires, or possibly a bad alternator. Check all the wire connections. Check for a loose or bad alternator belt and have the alternator and battery tested.
