NIKON D610 SHUTTER MECHANISM FAILURE ON 2 DIFFERENT BODY. Is that LEMON?

I bought this case in 2014 (paid about $1800) and after about a year and a half the shutter mechanism failed. Since it was out of warranty, I had to pay $268 to have it repaired. So I figured, well, the number of shutters was 90,000, that seemed reasonable. During the repair I thought ok I need another case so I'll just grab another D610 so I don't have to buy other batteries and I already knew where all the settings are in this model. I got a new case, then I got the refurbished one back and it worked fine. I'm ready, aren't I? Not correct! After about 3 months the locking mechanism of the second body failed. This site only had about 9,000 closures. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN. Dissatisfied! But since I was still under warranty, I only had to pay for shipping. I sent it back, it was fixed and I got it back. Fast forward 6 months. The locking mechanism on the 1st repaired body FAILED AGAIN. Since NIkon only gives a 3-6 month guarantee on the repair, I had to deal with a high repair bill again! I started a repair order on their website and asked them if there is a known issue with this model and instead of repairing it, should I invest in a CANON model? No wonder they didn't reply. After that I called and spoke to a representative and after begging me they took 20% of the bill for the repairs. I was grateful for everything but still spent about $240. I asked her if there were any known issues with the locking mechanism on this model. They said no. mmm I now have 2 functioning organs, but who knows for how long? Otherwise I love this camera!
