I've got an '03 WRX Wagon. I also listen to A LOT of audio books. Since I get most of them from the public library - probably 80% of them are on tape...
In the last 10 days, my tape deck has simply stopped and gone dark 4 times now. For no reason I can figure out - there isn't a pattern of other things running or anything like that (ie: Lights on, defrost running, etc). I can say tt does happen after the cars been running awhile, I'm seldom in the car for less than 30 minutes at a time - usually more like 60 minutes for my commute.
After it stops, I can eject the cassette and reinsert it and the radio will act normally. The problem has never happened twice during the same driving session.
Any thoughts???
