The solder fatigue you took pictures of is common for electronics that have
been in a vehicle for a long time. usually the parts that fatigue are
heavier power resistors, caps or inductors. They seem to be more susceptible
than smaller, lighter parts.

All eight of my images are on the first four pages of google image
results for solder fatigue.  And the entire collection is the third
