CEL on 2013 C250
Was driving on the interstate when I noticed that when I gave the car a little throttle to pass the car shook like there was a wheel severely out of balance, then the CEL came on. Car had loss of power and shook worse and worse when I gave more throttle. Stopped at a gas station to check the oil level and that was fine and did not appreciate any smoke at all. Turned to car off (to check oil) and when I restarted the car the CEL was off and the car ran fine. Made it to the house, plugged my ODB reader and P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire) came up. Anyone have any problem with this? Car is still under warranty, so she's going to the dealer tomorrow. I'll post what the result is when I get it. Hope the dealership can figure out wtf happened.
