I replaced all 6 on my MPV at about 75k as they all started going out one by one. That was ~55k miles ago, they are still going strong.
A quick google search

shows coils are a pretty common problem, but not usually recurring. Check your vacuum hoses, I had a leaky one (Texas Heat) and duck-taped it until I had time to replace it. I love my MPV, largest car I've ever enjoyed driving.
I just drove my Father's Ford 500 (same engine) 1200 miles and even though it handles GREAT (lower, wider), the MPV just felt livelier even though its about 90 lbs heavier. But if you know a "Ford Mechanic" have him take a look at it.
