Well sure, if you replace them ever 2 years you won't have 
problems. :)  So that's my problem.  I expect them to last 10 years.
Lemon law requires that you have the same problem 3 times with a 
vehicle.  
I had about 10 things that only broke twice each.  Perhaps I should 
have broke my door locks on purpose a third time.
