Yes , the radiators are a piece of crap. The main issuer is that the inlet/outlet manifold is plastic and that there mount point is in this plástic piece. All the stress is on this mount point which eventually cracks and causes a leak. I found out that hitting a curfb didn't help.
Luckily the radiators are rather cheap (a little over $200) and are relatively easy to replace. Most of the work is removing the bumper and burping the cooling circuit.
