2015 ST1 with 4800 miles on it.
This past Monday night, I filled up my gas tank with a fresh tank of 93 from BP. On Tuesday morning, I walked out to my car, started it and was instantly greeted with a CEL. Odd. Car drove fine. I drove to work (8 miles) and as I was walking away from the car, I noticed that the fuel door wasn't fully pressed in. OOPS! There's my problem right there. I clicked it shut and figured the code would disappear.
Well, it's now Wednesday and about 80 miles later and the CEL is still on. Just now, I drove to Autozone to have it read.
P0300 - misfire detected, random cylinders
p0302 - misfire detected, cylinder number 2
That's not cool.
As far as I can tell, the car drives fine. I say "as far as I can tell" because the temperature has been in the 90s and I've been driving it in traffic, with the AC cranked so it's not like I've had any opportunity to really open it up. Just around town, it feels fine.
PROBLEM:
Both of my local Ford dealers (I drove to one and then called another) are telling me the soonest they can look at my car is NEXT Thursday August 6th. That's really not good. I'm incredibly frustrated because I don't want to keep driving this thing if I'm causing damage.
Any recommendations/experience from you fine educated Focus ST folks?
EDIT:
So, 21 months later (548 days total with 58 days spent at the dealership), my car never got fixed (despite multiple tries) and Ford ended up buying back the vehicle and replacing it with a brand new one, free of charge. The entire process was nothing less than a nightmare of car ownership that I would not wish on anybody.
