GM5 with broken on/off switch (repaired by myself with superglue), 2 x 12-32 kit lenses, both had the outer cover come adrift.

All 3 problems due to crummy black glue that Panasonic use not holding up...

My 3rd version of this lens is ok so far, (4mths old, came with the GX9) interesting that this one has a plastic mount, the previous two both had metal mounts...
