Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have owned a 2001 and 2003 Ford mustang and a 2001 Ford explorer all of which had a factory in dash 6 disc changer. Each one of these vehicles have had cd's get stuck while it was being ejected and would just pop up cd error and not work. Once it starts it happens at least once a week. I have replaced one and had the same problem with it. Just like anyone else I attempted to get the cd player to work as I was going down the road. If you the dash in the right spot it will work usually. As you can tell this is very distracting from driving. …”
