Only for the items I've owned from new:
50D - one short period where the shutter button was a bit funny but it went away again. Probably water getting in from me using it unprotected in the rain.
7D - Joystick occasionally plays up after wet weather usage, probably from prolonged usage in medium to heavy rain unprotected.
S-type focus screen for 5D: the plastic case it came in had a broken tab! Oh noes!
No major problems, needs AF-microadjust.
EF 35/2
EF 50/1.8
EF 85/1.8
No problems at all:
EF 100-400L
EF-S 15-85
MP-E65
S-type focus screen for 50D
Genuine spare batteries for 50D and 7D
Angle finder C
The rest of my Canon kit is used. The only used lens I had a problem with was a 35-350L which wouldn't lock focus at certain focal lengths and depending on how you hold it. I suspect the front section was worn loose and was tilting away from the optical axis. As it was a used lens from a dealer I could return it for a refund. It was over 10 years old at the time I bought it.
