Could have been crud in the MAF, moisture in a tail lamp, bad brake lamp switch, or an overheated CVT going into self-protection. If it was the MAF or the brake switch there will likely be no evidence, but if it does it again, take note if the third brake lamp is on even though you're not on the brake. If it's a leaky tail lamp then there may be a P0705 in the TCM if the reverse lamp circuit was falsing, probably nothing if it was the brake lamp circuit. Vis the CVT, have a dealer (or someone with a high-end scanner like a SnapOn Solus) check the values for CVT-A and CVT-B. Those are the overheat counts in the TCM. If they're above zero then your tranny has had at least one overheat episode, probably from worn-out fluid if you've never changed it.
