I've never heard of problems with Cannondale carbon fiber or for that matter, carbon fiber from most brands either. I have in fact heard of problems with Trek carbon fiber frames.
recall problems with early Trek carbon frames with aluminum lugs - the bikes / frames had a lot of miles though
early Trek OCLV frames were susceptible to failure from dropped chains - Trek then supplied a steel 'ring' that mounted behind the drive-side bottom bracket flange to prevent the chain from sawing through the chain stay
also heard there were some cases where the threaded bottom bracket inner 'shell' bond failed ... would spin when bottom bracket was installed
