03 GT leg is yet again having issues (we're almost ready to go to the second set of toes). Cd player spits the cds out after trying to play them. Is there a TSB on this or an easy fix. Its my wife's car and is the most unreliable POS I've ever owned. It is very close to becoming a Honda as I simply don't want to spend more time dealing with a freaking 03 with 24k on it then I do on my other 4 vehicles (and one of those is an old stykle Ford PU!)

Have you tried cleaning the the cd player?

 

Does it do it with all discs, or just certain ones?

I have a similar problem on an aftermarket single disk CD player. I finally figured out that the player wasn't spinning the disk -- the label came out in the same position as I put it in after numerous tries. Took it to a car stereo place. They said the insides were so clogged up with dust that it jamed the player (I travel on at least 20 miles of gravel every day). I had them clean it and seal the machine. About two months later same symptoms. Seems that gravel road dust was getting in through the CD slot.

 

I finally gave up and bought an iPod with a charger/FM transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I have to select my music on the iPod but all the other operations (volume, EQ, etc.) are controlled by the car's audio system. Been working great for about a year.
