Code P0301, cylinder 1 misfires?

Starting three months ago the start stop system began not working due to several different reasons. Start stop not available, start stop not ready driver seat unbuckled, not ready steep incline, not ready battery charging, not ready front defrost selected, not ready engine temperature too low, and not ready steering wheel turned. Other than the start stops intermittently not working I have not experienced any other issues up to this point. The messages would flash when driving low speeds and more often when accelerating at a higher speed. Just two days ago when merging onto the highway and accelerating more rapidly my check engine light began flashing and the vehicle starting riding very rough for about 2-3 minutes and then resumed driving as normal. The check engine light is no longer on, but I had it hooked up today and it showed a code P0301 cylinder 1 misfire and indicated that cylinder 1 had too many misfires within a predetermined period of time. I talked to a few different dodge dealerships and apparently, they don’t see this issue often and no one has much information for me as to what the cause is other than a possible spark plug or worn wires. I did schedule to bring my vehicle in to be looked at but was not able to get in until next week. I am also being told the start stop has nothing to do with the misfires, but I feel like they coincide with one another given the incident yesterday. My vehicle is out of warranty as of October 2023, so I was wondering if anyone has dealt with or heard of a similar issue as to what I am experiencing and what the cause was, and if the start stop is in any way connected to issues with the misfires?
