After working for GM for well... a while I can tell you that 3.1L and 3.4L v6s are going to leak dex-cool at the manifold. This actually isn't a problem with the coolant but with the manifold gasket's coolant passages as they relate to the head and manifold itself. They do it all the time and yes it is a problem but to go as far as to sue the car maker is a bit too much for me. I think even if we put Ethylene in these things they would leak internally and fail. But in this everything for nothing age we live in I'm not surprised it has happened like this.
All cars have problems... doesn't matter what brand it is! Remember when Ferraris used to grenade engines in the 90's like it was going out of style? Owning a car is expensive and not they're not perfect, my beloved SAAB has its own quirks to figure out but I haven't seen anyone sue for inner drivers causing Parkinsons and the roundhouse kick my 9-3 gives me when I get my wonderful torque-steer. Who cares?? Don't have the money or want to fix your car?? WALK!!
