On two different occasions my 2005 Escape has had the coil packs fail. Now all the packs have been replaced and after the last repair just 3 months ago the vehicle is misfiring on a cylinder again! What is causing this problem? Any help out there would just be the best Christmas gift ever! Help!

Exactly why were the coil packs replaced?

The car was bucking like a bronco! Only firing on maybe 3 cylinders…I was TOLD… while out of state on vacation when I broke down…after I had to wait for a rental…that there was a problem with those orginal service packs on that year Escape.
