Last year I ran out, and needed three.
Went to the dealer.
All broke while assembling.
Thankfully I was at the dealer parts counter, I broke the first, they broke two more.

They ordered more, and assembled them with no issues, a year later still OK.

IMO: It is quality control issues.

I have used other brands, but none survived one week.
