How long does it take to replace Ignition coils?
The dealer determined that the car needs to have the TSB applied and that it is under warranty, so that will include replacement of the PCM, all coil packs and the plugs. That’s the good news! The bad news is that the PCM is back-ordered and it may take two weeks to get it.
What causes PCM to fail on Ford Fusion?

Once a coil fails, the remaining 5 are likely not far behind.
