By driving conditions I meant, asphalt? concrete? dirt? gravel? were you just cruising? hammering? Obviously the Knock occured prior to you parking it, unless it is a harness short, then maybe the harness shorted when you started it.
***DO AT YOUR OWN RISK***
I hammered on my FR-s during a crest run (I mean hammered) It was an attempt to climb to the peak at the fastest possible time, and yes I can drive so I beat the tar out of the car. When I reached the top, brakes red, tires melting, but idling fine, temp good, no issues. Let it idle for a few minutes, then shut it off to let everything cool down. Got in to drive down (like a grandpa) and first turn boom! check engine light and safe mode. Get home pulled code, now mine was different than yours however, I unplugged the battery and the car went out of safe mode. You can attempt this if you want, however if it is a bad knock sensor, or a harness short then the car will go right back into safe mode. I know it sucks not having full throttle, or the ability to go over 3k, but it seems something is VERY wrong.
Have you taken it to the stealership yet? Anything thus far should be well under warranty.
