Last week while driving after few days of "canadian hibernation" period I got another "surprise". Engine started to rattle, the three signs from below showed up. I pulled over in a parking lot and stopped the engine thinking that it may be a computer glitch of some sort. A minute later I started the engine just to learn that the errors cleared out and engine sounded right. I continued the chores without any surprises but next day I dropped the car at the dealership, Upon a computer diagnose they identified I had an engine misfire caused by software error code and addressed by TSB 2068601/7. They applied a software upgrade ($316) and assured me that won't happned again. The car seems to run well and hopefully I won't get this again. Never a dull moment.
There are two things that I can think of that could caused this but I am not sure;
1) I went on a ski trip to Quebec with a full tank of COSTO gas (I use only COSTO gas from Nov 2021). On the way I filled 20 litters of Petro Canada gas then in Quebec filled the tank with Shell gas.
2) I also added half a bottle of 360 stabillizer to that full tank of COSTCO gas.
Aparrently I broke the routine and the engine felt it maybe. I am sure if that is the reason but any opiinion is welcomed!

You probably know or don't about my recent Costco experience that made me dump them. Engine misfire from water in gasoline, full injector cleanup $1K. They took zero responsibility.
The other thing may be your 12V battery, I know you had your BCG replaced but did they replace the 12V as well? It's costly and not warranted in CPO. Life is around 4-5 years so a lot of 2019-2020s will need them soon.
Hi , yes I am aware of your case and empthatise with you. I might be in a situation where I got bad gas from others and not Costco. Since I use Costco gas since Nov '21 I try to eliminate this case. Bad gas can be from any seller or brand. After I received the pre-warranty inspection and the sotware upgrade the dealer checked the 12V and believe me they were mentioning it to me but it turned out positively. They nagged about the brake replacement way before there were 4 mm in the front. On my next visit I will ask them to diagnose the 12V battery and see if a replamecement is recommeded.

"A day" is gone but the "nightmare" continues.
