Ignition Coil Assembly question
I have a question for all of you.
I have a 2000 Max SE with 48K miles. A few months ago my SES light came on and the car was riding really rough (misfiring?) so I brought it to the dealership that I bought it from (used with 29K miles). They said it was the sixth ignition coil. They replaced it and the car ran fine for months.
Than it happened again. So i bring it back and they say its the sixth ignition coil again but that its really uncommon since they replaced it a few months ago. I picked the car up tonight and its running fine. The receipt says they replaced all ignition coils assembly's and that the code is P0306.
Is this something i should be really concerned about? I know some of you will have opinions so lets hear it.
Thanks,
Goss

but...
They already replaced the ignition coil assembly a few months ago. Is it common for it to happen twice in less than a year?
I have been toying with the idea of trading the car in, should this be the catalyst?
Thanks!
