Hola, me sustituyeron las bobinas y bujias de mi mazda CX5 2015 en septiembre 2024 y ya estan dando problemas, códigos de falla P0302 y al principio P2302 en todos los cilindros, son marca "D" duralast. Son económicas pero no duran mucho.
Pros: Son económicas
Cons: no duran mucho
Vehicle:
Mazda
ive been using them in my old 4runner for a couple years now and have yet to have one fail. Think they have like 20k miles on them or something like that. Truck runs great.
Pros: have yet to fail

Toyota 4runner

About 2 months ago I had a cylinder 4 misfire while on the interstate so I pulled over got it towed and replaced all the ignition coils(duralast) and spark plugs. It fixed the problem and I went on my merry way. Well now today I am currently on the side on the road waiting for a tow truck and once again got the p0304 code(cylinder 4 misfire). When I replaced the coils last time the coil in Cylinder 4 looked like it had melted. I haven’t been able to look at it now but what could be the cause for that? Do I have an underlying issue somewhere else or did cheap parts just bite me in the ass like they always do?
Pros: initially fixed problem
Cons: coil melted, misfire returned
Used them on my 17’ Wrx premium. Worst decision i ever made. Motor started misfiring. Drove easy until i fount a replacement. Motor blew before i could swap them out 2 weeks later.
Cons: motor started misfiring
I have burnt through many duralast coils. Changing to standard or delphi today actually as the duralast keeps having misfires
Cons: keeps having misfires
Autozone duralast, cheap and get the job done. Coils are coils and don’t really affect any performance
Pros: cheap, get the job done
Cons: don't affect performance
Vehicle:
Audi S5
I’m having similar jerking problems like when my plugs/coils went bad again and the mechanic suggests coils, especially if I don’t have “Honda brand” coils. How bad off are duralast coils? Autozone is switching out these ones now for free due their warranty but I know now if the car starts messing up again that I need a new brand. I drive A LOT, so I’m wondering how normal is it for duralast coils to go bad so fast? They were literally changed in the mid winter. I can imagine I drove about 10-15k miles before my car started having problems again
Cons: failed quickly, jerking problems
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 16093 km
One additional benefit is that the Duralast Coils have a free replacement for life. FWIW I put about 4 coils on my old 2007 and never had one fail over the course of 5 years and ~50k miles.
Pros: free replacement, never failed, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 80467 km
I went to Autozone and purchased a set of Duralast Ignition coils for $300, swapped all 4 and the car idled as good as new. I don't know if the Duralast coils will last very long, but they do have a no questions asked lifetime warranty so I can just get them replaced everytime it goes out.
Pros: idled as good as new
Cons: longevity is unknown
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 108000 km
