Default Water Pump Fail Roundup

With the summer travel season starting up I was starting to worry a bit about my water pump. It is hard to tell how prevalent this problem is so I figured I'd do what the internet does best and post a poll! I did a quick search for polls and didn't find one so forgive me if this is a dupe.

For those of you who have had one fail can you post your build date?

(p.s. This is my first poll posting so I apologize if I somehow mess this up)

I think including the build date would be helpful in determining whether or not there is a correlation to specific batches. Mine is a 6/09 build date with 3700 miles -- no issues to date.

March, 2010 build, 2,320 miles, no problem. However, like several others have reported, I have noticed that my coolant is about 1/8 inch below min line when cold. I never checked level until a few weeks ago but it hasen't seemed to drop since so I'm assuming it came like that and will continue to moniter it.
