This is really similar to what I saw with my '99 V6 (bubbling in the coolant reservoir).
At cold startup, do you see any white smoke from the exhaust? Does the engine sound odd at all at startup? My V6 would chug for a few seconds and then smooth out, with white smoke while chugging.
After replacing the head gaskets (did it myself), the car is back to running normally. None of the individual steps are all that bad, there are just a lot of steps involved. Took me something like a week and a half of my spare time. Does not require pulling the engine out of the car, so that's a plus.
Would be interesting to know for sure if the head gasket is the failure, because the 2002+ V6 uses a better gasket than the older ones. Supposed to be more bulletproof.
