Most likely VCM damage.

This was the service bulletin related to the powertrain warranty extension to 8 year from the original date of purchase (which would have expired for a 2011).

If the misfire is caused by the VCM and since you're probably no longer covered under the extended warranty; you may want to try installing an aftermarket plug and play, VCM Muzzler 2 to disable the VCM.
