This is exactly what happened to us with CAN on jaguars at Traverse City. We sit still a match. Go back to test it at the pit and everything looks fine. Go out for the next match and the robot sits still again. All this time it says communication is fine. Decide to control our drive instead by PWM and CAN stopped pestering us until a jaguar blew knocking out our entire robot because the CAN stopped the robot due to inability to find all jaguars.
