Usually a result of pilots losing control in IMC flying.
The type got a bad “hangar flying” reputation from those who couldn’t afford the type…and that many of those who could buy them had reputations for not staying current…hense the nickname “doctor killer”.
Back on the 80s, the FAA did a review of the type (spurred on my some hysterical media coverage) and found no problem.

I spent a while flying around SoCal looking for the correct airport in one of those (Ramona). Then it turned out the runway was closed for work so we landed on the taxiway… as did the hotrodded Navion that came to pick us up after we delivered the V tail.
