Default 2010 V6 Spark Plug Misfire

I purchased a Canadian Accord 2010 V6. I had 2 spark plugs "go bad" last year. Same one about 4 months a part. Tonight as I was driving home the car chugged and engine light started to flash again! I've seen class actions etc. about this issue but nothing recently. Any help would be appreciated. First 2 times it was the plug for cylinder 6 I believe.

.

Okay so what you'll do is start your car and pop your hood and then look for the ignition coils which are the black or blue on top of the spark plug ( 6 coils for v6) & basically what you'll do is unplug and plug them back up one by one if the car starts to shake even more once you unplug one then that coil is good now you plug that back up and continue the process until all is checked if you unplug one and the car doesn't respond to you unplugging it no extra shake then that is your bad coil. I would suggest ordering a whole coil pack kit online and change all of them and keep the working ones for the future that way you want keep having this problem because coil packs cost alot of money locally but on-line you could get a whole set anywhere from 80 to 160.

Here's what you'll be looking for i highlighted the coils in green and the plug that you need to unplug in red.
