F-22A- "Faulty" O2 system/oxygen mask and regulator causing pilot to black out. Speculation was that the F-22 routinely operated at much higher altitude than previous fighters.

I forgot to mention the most famous fighter jet, which had lots of problems during it lifetime.
F-104 Starfighter or in common F104 The Widowmaker.
