Iv'e had all those same problems too, but they are few and far between now. You should check your mirage drive after every trip or every other trip. Look for frayed cables, loose cables, unusual wear, bent masts, cracks on the crank arms, loose set screw for the spline shaft...
You should take care and maintain your mirage drive regularly. If you can't or won't...expect to have more failures in the future.
Get a decent paddle
And...learn how to paddle too...
