My water heater stopped making hot water, and was ready to replace it.
But I found the stuff that was taped to the heater, found it had a 12 year warranty and the date of Manufacture was about 8 years ago, so I called them. It was a GE water heater, actually made by Rheem.
They had me check the pilot light, I could not see it through the little glass window. After a few calls to troubleshoot it (had to clean the glass window), they sent me a new pilot light assembly.
It has a thermostat as part of it, so if the pilot goes out, no gas will be supplied for safety. They provided the entire assembly, I replaced it lit. After a hour or so, hot water again :)
Since the thermostat is in a very hostile environment, next to the burner, I think this is a common failure. Other than I leaking tank, seems like one of the more likely things that could fail.
