They're easy to find, just google "dex cool problems".  Here are a
couple:

Whether you think these are "solid evidence" is up to you; you are of
course free to use ANY coolant you choose in YOUR vehicle; my policy
is to use OEM coolant in any vehicle and that's what I do in my cars
now.

My personal experience is that after switching to Dex-Cool in a '91
Jetta I developed coolant leaks around the temperature sensors and
between the cooling hose flange and the head.  I'll admit the only
evidence I have that this was caused by the Dex-Cool is the timing.
