If a customer finds some quality problems in a purchased product
Is the "in" correct in the above sentence? Should it be replaced by "with" ?
TIA!

if a customers encounters problems with
"some" is not proper usage here. You do not need the word. I find "encounters" would be a better verb to use. Then your problem is solved because you have to use "with"!

although "with" would not be wrong.

I'd say
"problems *with* a product" or "defects *in* a product" - you can have problems with...(e.g. find it hard to use, find it doesn't meet your requirements etc) without there necessarily being any defects in it (badly made, constantly breaks down etc).
