Problems with the Su-24 besides the avionics and airframe fatigue include Mister Variable Geometry Wingbox. Unlike the Americans, the Russians never really solved that one well.  
 
Additional... the nose fairings like to come apart and the Lyulka AL-21 jet engine likes to stall out for no apparent reason.
 
The Su-24 Fencer has crew ejector systems that work very well. Those have to perform to specification a LOT.
