This just happened to me 2 weeks ago with my 2011. I already had idle issues (only when in drive) and then one day my car did exactly what you described. It happened twice in a row after I had already driven the car 30 minutes beforehand. The next day it almost happened again but the car recovered and stayed on.
The dealership said the the idle issue was due to a bad ECU and the immediate stalling issue was a feedback problem with my key fob. They replaced both. Everything has been ok since then.
