Everything seemed alright, and then the check engine light suddenyl came on at a red light, so I turned around and headed home. Every time I stopped moving, the car would die if it idled in D for more than 30 seconds or so. It was fine if I shifted into N or R, and it seemed to drive normally. Any idea what the issue could be?
The problem is with idle and mixture settings.
On a carb model you would fix this setting up the carburetor screws.
On an electronic injection vehicle like yours, you need to scan the electronic comtrol module that controls the injection.
You need to have the car ECM (electronic control module) connected to a code reader, this will return you an error code telling what the problem is.
The procedure can be performed at any qualified garage.
There is an automatic torque convertor on those models, that puts a little higher strain on the engine,
when idling. you can either get that checked or have your mechanic tweak the idle up..
Check out ignition switch connections and fuel pump and fuel filters.

I just had the oil changed and cabin air filter replaced. Possibly related to the current problem?
