About every 5000 miles one of those coils fails. The Dealer is replacing them under the extended warranty on the coils, but Ford won't authorize replacing them all a once. They only authorize replacing the one that failed, so I'm stuck going back every few thousand miles when another one fails. I'm at 50000 miles now and the 4th one needs replacing. This has been going on since 35000.
