I've owned this car for the past 3 yrs. and I'm getting ready to put in the 3rd radiator. The radiators I've had so far... 'bust' in the seam, in the same spot. Do you know the cause of this problem?

check your head gaskets and also try buying a good quality radiator.

it may even be a bad ground not grounding out all the energy but instead grounding it into the radiator causing the coolant to turn acidic eating away the radiator.
