Has B737NG/MAX problems with landing gear?

[Charter]

Hi to all. I am from Rome, Italy, Europe and i have never been fan of my country and/or my continent. I never said "Airbus rules" or "Airbus is better than Boeing". In my opinion these speeches are a nonsense because each airplane has its own features and each manufacturer builds ultra technological pieces of art that nobody should treet them with stadium cheering.Even liking Airbus A320ceo and A320neo families so much, when looking at B737 MAX8 for the first time i thought it was so beautiful to being more similar to a spaceship than to an airplane. I even think that Ryanair is lucky to have Boeing B737-800s in its fleet because the Airbus A320 should not resist to all the "hard landings" of its pilots...just joking (and, Leo, don't get nervous because of Boeing B and Airbus A!
But three episodes should warn Boeing and the landing gears of the B737NG and B737 MAX so i wonder if something is happening at Boeing.
What do you think?

1) the landing gear of a TUIfly belgium B737-700 collapsed when parked at Brussels Airport

2) a nose landing gear of a TUI Airways B737-800 suddenly turned perpendicular during takeoff run at Manchester Airport

3) an American Airlines B737 MAX8 has been evacuated at Denver Airport after landing gear wheel catched fire during takeoff

Indeed strange!

I can also remember the landing gear collapses of the Dash 8-Q400... SAS had quite a few and ended up retiring the type, if I remember well!

Yes, two in September 2007 and one in October 2007, all the three incidents involving SAS Dash 8-400. No injuries among passengers, but then SAS retired the model from its fleet.

Yes, there are really problems with Boeing B737 landing gears
This Is what happened to a Westjet B737-800 soon after touching down at SXM Airport: main landing gear collapse!

I don't think there is a particular problem with the design of the 737 landing gear as such, at least compared to any other aircraft . However these landing gear collapses might just be due to repeated structural stress on the landing gear and/or maintenance issues. With most of the instances mentioned in this thread so far involving 737NGs , which let's face it is an ageing aircraft type (first flight in 1997), I wouldn't be surprised if it is related to age, wear and maintenance. For the 737MAX, I think for now the culprit is maintenance as the MAX although newer than the NG still needs maintenance. And besides the 737MAX incident mentioned here is from American Airlines which is one of the first airlines to receive the MAX. It is too early to tell if Boeing is at fault. Note that I am unfamiliar with the specific airframes involved in these incidents.

I fully agree!
