Cylinder misfire code cause

johnysinthebasement@alien.topB to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 10 months ago

I just bought a used 2023 Kia Carnival with only 7000 klm on it. The next day the engine light came on with P0300 code: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected. The night before my kids were playing with the remote start, and turned the car on and off multiple times. Could this have caused this code?

I cleared the code and it has not come back after a week of driving. The car is still under warranty. Should I take it in to the dealership to have it looked at?

its good that the code is gone. however misfires could be intermittent. it may advisable to get it checked while youre still under warranty but you dont really need to
