I had a rear Ultegra brifter (2003 model) break in the first 1000 miles. The pawl refused to engage in downshifts. My LBS replaced it under warranty.

I also had a rear Campy Daytona (1999, now Centaur) brifter quit after about 20,000 miles and had to be rebuilt. It would bind up when trying to downshift and finally locked up necessitating a trip to the LBS.
