Mine at shop now getting a new radiator, good thing I got a the Bumper to Bumper ext. warranty when I bought it last year. I'm getting part of my $1500 back for a $1300 radiator.


I asked the Service Rep if the 5yr/100,000 mile covered this because of reading about the issue so much on here. He said, NO, that was only power train.


72,000 miles and I was fixing to have antifreeze changed out soon. Not the way I planned on.

 

Service Tech called me and informed me after pressure testing new radiator they installed, it leaks in same spot as old on left/driver side. So now they ordered another new radiator. Supposedly they come with 2 year warranty.


Wish I could install a Mishmoto.

 

From what I hear Mishimotos aren't much better. My rad started leaking at 45K miles replaced by my ESP warranty, I am at 82K right now so im watching very closely. If it goes again sure do hope its before My warranty is up at 100K.

 

they are a hit a miss item since 2008. My 2008 had 86K on it when traded and the radiator was fine.


My 2013 does not leak either.

 

I'm on my 3rd (and last) Mishimoto... Business partner had his warrantied and been running the OEM replacement for almost 3 years now with no issues...

 

Bad Mishimotos as well. Dang you can't have nothing.........

 

Supposedly they have their issues resolved with a V2 (same part # though). Mishi #2 was supposed to be a V2 but I don't think it was. Really hope this one works out, I've replaced my radiators more than my tires and windshield wipers combined.

 

That's not what I want to hear.

 

is there information on the v1 vs v2 differences?

 

Nothing other than them telling me they did some improvements. This was a couple of years ago. The only difference I could see is the upper support bars are now a threaded in hard polymer vs. a solid aluminum post

 

Well headed back with an oil leak from front of motor. That I didn't have before.

 

I installed a Mishimoto a year ago and only have about 10k miles on it so far. Crossing my fingers that it holds up. It does have the rubber mounts so maybe that allows it to flex there vs putting the stress into the whole unit.

 

Same here... I'm at 134k miles and my radiator does not leak either.
