No, it is your job as a researcher to make sure you never even bother to submit to the IRB something that might fail review.
Sometimes you might need to make the committee understand before a full review when you are asking where a line is for some tricky part, but you ask about those parts long before you have enough of the study designed to actually put it before the review.
Ethics are a personal responsibility. You should be personally embarrassed if you ever have something fail review, and probably should have your tenure removed as well since if your ethics are so bad as to put before the board something that fails you will also do something even worse without any review.
