Blind Spot Detection problem #1

Service engine light came on, it was taken to an independent service center. The code was a "misfire" to cylinder 3. When the spark plug was removed, it was wet with coolant. This means coolant is in my engine which can cause irreparable damage to my engine. It is over $9k for me to fix. This is a devastating design flaw. Also, the backup camera freezes, and the backup warning sytem stops when the camera freezes, which can cause an accident.
