Matt,
I think that is pretty much the "norm." That's why you should always carry a spare one with you. If it gets hit with some water after you've been driving awhile, the ceramic will crack and the element inside will burn out. This was a typical problem for Mopars from the '70s especially during a rainstorm.
Hope this helps.
Jeff
