I think on a percentage basis, the amount of engine/tranny catastrophic failure is relatively low (check out board for other makes to see what I mean).

I have heard of 2 or 3 failures of 3.5L due to the No. 1 rod bearing going out, but it always seems to be associated with low oil level (go figure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ).

The tranny has a decent rep for stoutness, especially if fluid is changed regularly (again, go figure). But neither is 100% bulletproof, nothing this complex is...
