Default 07 Camry LE V6 failing

I have an 07 camry 6 cylinder and last week I got the check engine light. I took it to autozone where they got all the codes and it seems that all 6 spark plugs are misfiring as well as there is an issue with one of the ignition coils. From what I understand this should not happen to a car thats been driven only 37K miles very gently.
I was told by an auto mechanic that it has to be the computer that is causing all this because there is a very small chance of all the 6 spark plugs failing simultaneously.
I hope the toyota dealership takes care of this issue

Certainly not normal.

Do not find any service bulletins.

See what the dealer states. The computer should be warrantied for something like 8 years/80K miles by EPA mandate for emission purposes. The info should be in your owners manual.

Thats what I was told by the mechanic so hopefully the dealership agrees.. from what i understand dealerships are a bunch of idiots who want to turn away customers. Today being sunday I havent been able to talk to them

Please post back with what happens with the dealer.

It is always best to be polite (but persistent if need be) with a dealer as they can turn you away, even if it is a warranty issue. Some dealers are better then others.

It turns to be the different way to me... some dealers give me advice on what to choose and give me tips to.

I have a very similar issue with my wifes 07 LE. She has 85k on it due to 50mile roundtrip to work not counting kids activities. Took it in and the dealer said it was bad gas causing an inaccurate O2 reading. Then the mechanic commented he would need to check the ECU just to be sure. He said the bad gas could make the ECU fail. I wanted to ask him if he thought I was an idiot?....LOL. If anything the bad ECU would cause the faulty O2 reading. We purchase an extended warranty, but I'm not sure if the ECU would be covered to 100k?
