Most equipment fails early or dies of old age or of course accidental damage.
There was a huge hoo-ha a while back about the quality of internal machining finish in new 70-200 Nikkor lenses. The internet was rife with heated discussions on that occasion, I suspect if there was a real issue like widespread focus motor issues there would be an even greater outcry and we would all be very aware of the issue.
My guess is it's an individual fault. That isn't to say it isn't a batch issue, the next one may have the same fault?
Where have you sent it back to, the seller or Nikon?
