This card worked fine for 7 months and then failed - poor quality

I have been using this micro SDHC card for about 9 months now although I bought it over 3 years ago. The card worked fine for 7 of those months until about 2 months ago my LG G4 phone started reporting no SD card connected. And then it will assemble. The number of times the unmount message was shown became more and more frequent until I stopped seeing it. Little did I know it stopped giving me an alert because my phone couldn't see it. I noticed this when checking my phone's storage settings and didn't see the micro SD card anymore. I removed the card and put it back in the phone but to no avail. I then removed it from my phone and tried plugging it into my PC Reader Adapter. He saw that the new USB drive was mounted but no files or directories were found. After trying another adapter (USB 3.0) I tried a USB 2 reader. Here I'm not sure if it's the USB 2 adapter or that I left it in the reader for 10 minutes and it finally saw the disk and directories. I started reading forums about bad SD cards and it turned out that the SanDisk 32GB micro SD card has significant reliability issues. I found dozens of users whose SD card worked for a while and then suddenly stopped. On none of the forums I looked at was there any suggestion other than contacting SanDisk for a replacement or leave it in the reader for a while (10 minutes in my case) and maybe you can read it. In my case, I copy the entire SD card to my computer to save hundreds of pictures I took that haven't been copied yet. Having bought this card a few years ago, although it's only been used for about 9 months, I can't expect SanDisk to replace it. But I think SanDisk has an issue with the quality of 32GB micro SD cards judging by the number of people having the same issue. I gave it one star as I could only save a dozen of the hundreds of photos I took.
