Neither Mexico nor "South American countries" (which ones? That sounds like an incorrect blanket generalization) are "failed states".

Mexico might qualify, in that the de jure government comes nowhere near having 100% de facto control of its territory, and doesn't appear to be on a path to reaching such a point, either.
