1.

The spring clip inside my battery compartment broke.

The flexible stainless (?) pads that serve as battery contacts sometimes break. Many people report that Garmin has repaired this at no charge even if the units are out of warranty.

There have some reports of units not really being waterproof. The reality is that once water is inside it, it's probably toast. Success in getting this fixed out of warranty seems to be mixed.
