2016 Civic Touring locked up brakes by itself

Going to work yesterday morning... For what ever reason my Civic locked up all wheels and came to a complete stop from appx 35 mph in about 40 feet or so in the middle of an intersection. There was no cars in front of me. The amber brake light came on, the car braked by itself, it slid to a stop, shut itself off, the dash lights and all indicator lights were very dim it started flashing no fob detected ( or whatever word it uses for no fob). The car would not respond to anything I tried to do. After about 2 minutes everything returned to normal. The car started and ran fine. Still has not acted up again. Now I'm trying to remember exact details as the truck behind me has his brakes locked and is sliding towards me. He gets stopped with about 6 inches to spare. Very scary situation...I talked to the dealer and get the "Never heard of that before". Anyone else have this happen?
