Should car manufacturers be liable for drunk drivers, stolen cars, distracted drivers etc?

That's a little different. I think auto manufacturers should have regulations that help protect drivers when they're not driving at their best. Things like seat belts are a simple example.

That's a little regulation, not liability or mandating control of the product's use.
