Average Mileage: 91,095 mi (45,000 mi - 130,000 mi)

Local Mechanic replaced all 3 in the back and had to replace the plenium gaskets to take the plenium off to get to them. Very labor costly and expensive

Engine light is on. Dealer says 2 of the coils are out, recommends changing them all since the others are soon to follow. What are these coils and why are they going out so soon. This is the 3rd major problem where it's costing me more than $1000 on repairs.
I have a 98' Camry with 255K, I change the oil, tires, battery and the car keeps running. At this point I'm planning on getting rid of the 06' Avalon and keeping the 98' Camry.Flag ThisLike | 5 people like this5 -

Check engine light x 4. FIrst time was O2 sensor which I had replaced. One week later light was back on and dealer said it was a misfire on cylinder #5. I did not have this corrected and the dealer reset the check engine light. A week later the light came back on and dealer said it was cyl number 1 and wanted to replace that one. Apparently #5 WAS NOW ok

Engine light on due to ignition coil failed again.
Around 40,000 miles two years ago, Engine light turned on. One of well known mechanic guy checked it and pointed out a failed coil and recommended me buying a coil from Toyota part shop and replaced it by myself. I did and OK.
Now, around 75,000 miles, one of coils failed again.
I bought it and replaced it easily because the failed coil located at front bank. cost $120, Avalon 2007.
PS. I could see only one failed code at the time engine light on but after driving half hour to go mechanic shop, all coils looked like fail by displaying on a diagnosis monitor. may cause by a computer error of Avalon itself.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1 -

I have had this problem once before and they replaced one of the ignition coils. However two months later the problem is now back and I need to figure out which one needs replacing given they are about $112 each. I know that maybe they all may need to be replaced but does anyone know if you can just replace one at a a time as they fail?

RookieAt 90,000 miles I had ignition coil d fail. It was replaced by my mechanic. Now two years later the diagnostic report states all six coils are failing. My mechanic feels it might be the cars computer. Not sure which it is yet but cost for all 6 coils will be 1,200
