Default Anyone training/instructing in DA42?

I'm curious if anyone else has been flying the Twinstar?

My school has two DA42's that are meticulously maintained and they can't seem to stay in the air. Both have had multiple engine failures and serious down time. About a week ago, one of them had an engine failure, so it was fixed, then the next flight the other engine died.

I meet all my Commercial requirements, but whenever I get close to be being proficient enough to take my check ride a plane goes down and my flights get canceled and I don't fly for a week or two or three (busy school).

If you have any experience with this aircraft how often is it down for maintenance? Ever have any emergency situations?
