“I purchased my 2001 goldwing 1800 used from a local dealer in plainfield, ct. The goldwing was sold to me with the stereo system installed which included the 5 disc cd changer under the rear trunk. From day 1 I had problems with this cd changer not working correctly, becoming jammed up with all 5 discs in one slot, etc. I had taken out the extended warranty from the dealership but all they ever told me was that they were looking into the problem. …”
