You got ripped off.I have a 2013 Tundra truck with only 31K miles on it. For the ten years I have owned it there have been no problems. However, a couple of weeks ago it was running really rough and the Check Engine light was on.
Took it to a mechanic and he plugged in the diagnostic computer. The ignition coil in the number four cylinder had gone bad.
Like you I had never heard of an ignition coil. It supplies high voltage to the spark plug. Most modern vehicle have them.
They cost about $150 each and you need one for each cylinder. For the mechanic to do the diagnostic and replace the ignition coil and spark plug including labor it cost $300.
The mechanic said that if another one doesn't go out before then I should replace all of them at 60K miles.
