There have been no reported problems. If it made it 240K, it did well. As far as the brake lights not working, have you checked for power to the switch and out of the switch?

I'm glad you got it fixed. I had a feeling it was the brake light switch. What I ment was it the switch made it to that mileage, it did a good job.

Take care and let us know if you have other questions.
