What happens if you fail your checkride?
If a student fails a maneuver during a check ride, the examiner will notify the student right away. The examiner can end the check ride at any point after a failed item, or he can give the student the opportunity to continue in order to complete the remaining tasks.
How long do you have to retake a checkride?
60 days
FAR 61.43(f)(1) says you will receive credit for the areas of operation that you passed, provided you take the retest within 60 days from the date of the original checkride.

The airlines know that, and generally speaking they’re willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. If you answer, “yes” to a check ride failure question on your application, the application should give you a place to explain the details of your failure.
Is there a checkride for CFI?
The Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating is one of the crown jewels of advanced flight training, and for many pilots, it means taking their last checkride before they go to an airline. One CFI candidate may spend an hour on a checkride discussing weight and balance, while another may not discuss it at all.
Can you discontinue a Checkride?
If the checkride has to be stopped due to any reason besides student pilot failure, such as weather setting in, the examiner will issue a letter of discontinuance, which will state the maneuvers that have been completed so that the retake checkride can be limited to the maneuvers that have not yet been completed.

Is there a time limit for a checkride failure?
The answer is yes, just the items they failed need to be repeated, but there is a time limit. See 61.43 for details. I have excerpted the relevant sections below: (c) If an applicant fails any area of operation, that applicant fails the practical test.
What happens if you fail a checkride in the FAA?
If you fail one if goes on your FAA record. A regional or LCC/ULCC may not impact you so much but the big 3 (big 4), it will for sure. If you lie to them about a checkride failure, they will check and terminate you for falsifying your record. If you have 1 failed check ride, you are probably ok.
