Plastic against metal gears and all plastic gears.  If you have a strong thumb no joy.  Cheap to fix usually.  
I have an f2 still that was my step mothers when she was a PJ in Portland.  The Titanium shutter ripped in half.

The old contaxes, Zeiss, rollei, Yashica etc keep going strong
they need exercise but keep ticking
Also the old Nikons and Pentaxes (70s) work fine too, even though they need a CLA every 10 years or so.

The cameras from the 80s (mostly Pentaxes; and Minoltas) are giving up the ghost....
The shutter doesnt cock after winding, and I end up winding 5-6 frames before being able to shoot again

Pablo,

I presume you are talking about cameras, eh? If so which ones failed and which ones are still going strong?

I still keep the old girls happy, trying to rotate them thru the year
A few have given up, but incredibly enough those from the 60s and 70s refuse to fail
