I have had to replace the LCM because the lights would work then stop working. The brake lights stopped working but the center light kept working. I traced it to a short between the MFS and BOO. It was a green wirer I had the same problem with another CVPI. I also had 2 rims crack at the weld. Replaced all 5 steel rims with aluminum factory take offs. The car has been a very reliable car. All of the problem happened past the 130000 mile mark. The car has had the normal things wear out such as starter and what not. I have driven this car in an abusive manner for most of its life.
