Under what conditions? How long does it run for and how long until it will restart?

A valve job would be near the bottom of my list of suspects. Is the check engine light on? Have you ever tuned it up?

It's unlikely to be plugs or filters on a '13 DOHC as they come with ultra-durable iridium plugs. If TB is referring to stalling wafter braking to a stop then the number one culprit is the CVT...except that "reluctance" doesn't quite fit....
