Hmmm.... Consumer Affairs only rates them 2/5 from reviews they have received.

However, it seems that the reviews are either 1 star or 5 star. So there must be some sticky points that are required.

Sometimes their rebuilders have a bad run of parts. They figure on at least of few failures in order to get the best margin of return.

Sorry, it was a few years ago and I don't recall. The difference may be something simple, such as stainless vs steel. It's a fairly common part and they should be able to easily find it for you.
