i have a 2004 x-type that has suddenly started going into fail-safe mode for no particular reason.  

Talked to the dealership and they said that i could be anything from a brake light to the transmission that needs to be replaced.  I've read some forums and am seeing that if this happens, you should sell out quick.  Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

Sounds like it would be worth it to me to have the diagnosis done so you know exactly what the problem is.  Then you can make an informed decision from there.  It'll be hard either to trade or private-sell this vehicle if it truly is kicking into failsafe mode (which usually means won't shift out of 2nd gear, etc.) without warning.
