Several people are having problems with the newest firmware... Call Crucial... I had two bad 256GB M4's in a row. I finally switched to a Samsung 830.

Try updating to the latest firmware (that's what Crucial customer support will tell you to do first). If that doesn't solve the problem, the try a clean install of Lion (I know it's a pain in the a**, but if you get a new SSD you'll have to do it anyway.) Then, as a last resort, call Crucial about getting a replacement. Good luck!

Are you running Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion? If you are running Mountain Lion, don't forget that it hasn't officially been released and your problems could be the result of running a Developer Preview (even through it is pretty stable).

Since it sounds like you're running Lion now, give it a few days and see if any problems appear. If they don't, then try the TRIM Enabler. Good luck!
