Jonoslack notoriously had problems with Pentax lenses going through several copies of certain models sometimes never coming up with a functioning copy.
So the point is everyone can have problems from any manufacturer. Doesn't necessarily call for pitchforks and torches though as the regional HQ.
Hmm - Sony -I have had numerous warranty issues with all of my Sony cameras. Never had an issue with a lens, and I am pretty anal.
In my experience I would say having bought 3 cameras, with 2 that had issues right out of the factory, and one that developed over a span of time that was also in inherent defect, that Sony QC may not be up to spec on camera bodies either.
That is just my opinion, from my own experience of course. YMMV.

Too many lenses to list. I've never had a problem with anything - mind you, word on the street was that if you DID have a problem in the UK it was really hard to get it fixed, but apparently now that's all changed and sometimes they can manage a 5 day turnaround.
. . . . and as HiredArm points out - I had terrible grief with Pentax lenses (not the cameras).
Individual stories are always of dubious use . . . . . and of course, real statistical information simply isn't available.
