No it isn't common. I'm sure there can and will always be the exception to the rule.
The thickness of the steel used virtually eliminates a rust through type of failure.

The failure as just pointed out was in the insufficient thickness of the frame rails which permitted the mounting bolts to pull through the frame itself.

As a matter of fact, it has been the aluminum billet suspension arms that have the potential to fail since they are cut out of an aluminum alloy, not steel. I haven't heard of any failures with them either though.

There could be other reasons for the rattle inside the tube. You can hear a rattle in mine also. Sounds like a small piece of machined metal or a piece of welding slag that is in there.
