Question Problems with Stock Headunit

Has anybody else here experienced any problems with their stock headunits?

Mine is starting to do this thing where it will play a cd for a bit, and then act like the disc is skipping and display and "E" which I assume means error.

I tried using various discs including brand new ones without any scratches but that didnt seem to help.

And then randomly it just starts working again...

Has anyone else had this problem?

no problems like that, the only one i've got is some of my cd's will only play a few of the tracks, or will play a track 2x faster than it should. For the record, these are CDs that I've payed for.,

Really u should be able to take it back to the dealer and have them replace it, but take it out and put a scratch in the back so you can tell if they "fixed" it or replaced it. or buy my Kenwood!??!!
