Sorry for all your bad luck. I purchased my V8 08 pathy with 60K miles. And took here to 87k wirh same radiator. Noticed some oil buildup on the radiator cap. And took it to the dealership, scared that transmission oil was getting mixed with antifreeze. Lucky it was not. And they replaced the radiator with the new oem one. Since it had extended warranty.
Last 20k miles I had dual electric flex a lite fan system. No issues. But just dont like the way they make oem radiators with plastic on top and bottom. So at 103k miles i have went with dual core CSF all aluminum radiator that costs $350.
Plus have purchased custom made aluminum shroud with dual Spal electric fans. And also upgraded the stock trans cooler for an aftermarket cooler, which is same size as oem but has twice as much cooling plates.
V6 and V8 use same radiators from 08to12.
Yes I know this is not much help for you right now.
Just showing you other almost put it on and forget it options.
