The F-14 had huge teething problems and was frequently referred to as a bust. They lost several during the testing process. The F-22 had oxygen flow issues as well, iirc a test pilot ended up dying due to this issue. The Osprey had enormous and ongoing issues during development. Not saying the F-35 will have similar success, just illustrating that the current issues do not mean the program is a failure.
