Ive had mine misfire all of a sudden, whole car shook, CEL lit up, said code "cylinder 1 misfires" sometimes it ran normal but then rough again. If i gave more than 1/2 throttle it shook even more and it had no power at all. When i checked the coils on mine they were original "BREMI" manufactured and even the date from back in the day was on the bremi coils. They now held up 230000 kilometers since when the car rolled off the factory, thats more than enough service
Pros: long service life, 230000 km
Cons: eventual misfires, loss of power
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 230000 km
Replaced all 6 coils with a set of Bremi from FCP 60k miles/9 years ago. I’ve got a new set on the way thanks to their lifetime replacement program. The customer service rep said they should be changed every 3-4 oil changes which sounds crazy to me He said I got luck they lasted 9 years. But I was expecting more like 100k not 60k. Granted I was going uphill with a full load with lights/AC/stereo all on. Probably should have lightened the electrical load but it’s never been a problem until today. SES light came on. Engine started misfiring. Pulled over immediately. Ran the codes. Got a P1353 (cylinder 6 misfire/coil).
Pros: lasted 9 years
Cons: misfiring, only 60k miles
Mileage: 96560 km
I replaced one ignition coil, we all know the others are otw out now but I'd have to wait a month for the fcp or ecs lifetime warranty and i may just do bremi at this point, since no availability sadly
Cons: no availability
Duralast coils are known to be problematic
Cons: known problematic

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

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
