I have a 2008 Camry with the standard single CD player (not JBL upgrade) I have had the car for about a month and am experiencing the following problem. After working with no issues for about a week, the CD player while playing a CD will suddenly make a loud clunk sound. At this point the CD can not be played, it can not be ejected. The first time it happened I contacted the dealer, was told the next appointment was in 6 days. After 3 days it went back to working. After this had happened twice each time resolving it's self in 2-3 days, it occurred again today. I called the dealer and pleaded that I could bring it in for him to see it. They agreed, but when I went down to drive the car to the dealer the CD was working correctly.
The error message that comes up on the screen is "ERROR 1"
The CD's are in excellent shape (checked out from lending library but do not appear to have any scratches or any other blemishes)
All 3 times the CD stuck I was driving on interstate highway at just about the same point. Slight bump in road surface but not noticeable in the Camry.
I recognize that a mechanic can not fix something that he can not see or repeat, but this is becoming very frustrating. One of my co-workers has said it has happened to him in his Camry about once every 2-3 months for the
4 years he has owned the car. His solution is to pull the fuses for the radio and then reset them and it goes back to working. I do not however consider that acceptable.Art
