Slight concerned: You seem concerned enough that you posed the question. Because of the popping and giving out you should have your knee evaluated by a sport's doc or ortho surgeon. From you symptoms i would question some patella subluxation and quad weakness. B i cannot rule out some other mechanical such as a torn meniscus. Your symptoms may be resolvable with some physical therapy.

Vague: It might be weak and need some strengthening. Both knees, actually. I would see an orthopedic Dr. and be checked just to be sure.
