Default Ignition Coil

Hi, I'm new to the site and I'm sure there's already a thread about this, but here it goes... I am the second owner of a 2009 xB (purchased car in 2011) and over the past 8 months or so (started happening after I got an oil change) my CEL, VSC, & traction control light will randomly come on but over the last couple months the lights won't go away. The car will run on one day and poorly the next. It shakes and acts like it doesn't want to go. I had advanced auto parts run a test on it and it said there's an issue with my ignition coil. Is this something that I can fix myself? I have almost no car knowledge but if it's easy to replace myself I can probably do it. Thanks for reading, hope it's going to be an easy fix!

Wasn't there a recall on the coil packs?

I don't know. I haven't received anything about a recall except for the power window issue

Very easy. Two bolts on top engine cover then one holding the ignition coil on. Unplug harness and r+r

upon further review, the recall didn't affect your vehicle. It was for 2008 models only and has since expired.....

^^^^~~~~~~what he said about replacement.....
