It's important to keep in mind that we don't have all the data available on these engines. As with most things, people are much more likely to share their bad experiences than good. Google just about anything and you'll find more criticism than praise. Every manufacturer has an expected failure rate for their components, especially if that product comes with a warranty. You have to be able to come up with expected future costs. When the engineers design the product, they know what the anticipated failure rate is. This is used to predict the warranty liability. Unfortunately, we don't know what that rate is and whether or not this particular engine has performed better or worse than expected. This does not make anyone's experience less frustrating, or valid, etc. But it's hard to claim that a particular product is "flawed" without having access to the actual vs expected data. Just my "two cents".
