Yes, but first of all one has to discriminate between issues caused due to neglect, lack of/wrong service, user caused problems (aftermath of overzealous farkle-fever), etc... and real quality/design related things...
Any apparatus, automotive in particular are only as good as the service they receive...
i.e. if folks ride through brine in winter and rarely wash it off afterwards, is it not really astonishing when swing-arms and stators rot into pieces over the years...
