I guess I'm one of those lucky ones. Never had problems with mine in the 6 years I been playing it and play it I do. It is on the whole time I'm riding and never missed a lick. everyday while on a trip I change out the 6 cds to different ones as I like different types of music while riding. If something would happen to it I would get another one. I figure after 6 years it might happen at anytime but who knows.

This CD player is a problem. On installation it worked well for a short period. Now it sticks, wont change disks. Tell me 'change mech error, Owner's manual does not identify this sympto or repair. To remove for service is alo a pain. Am considering installing some device that will operate off the "aux outlet" and be more reliable. A lot of problems for such an expensive accessory.

Though it works ok I did have a few problems changing CD's. They would get stuck. This didn't happen but a few times and the player is 4 years old. I give it only two stars because it does NOT play MP3 cds. You would think a player that cost this much would play MP3. Buyer be ware.

i give this a four star it started to act up three yrs after i had it install kept saying check change mech after a couple of months i decided to take it out and look in side did a couple of things inside and now it,s working just fine.

I like it! My kids, ages 25 & 31, chide me about not using an ipod or MP3... but I'm just not that hi-tech as yet... I still like my CDs, and I like using my USB turntable to convert old 60's & 70's rock & roll to CD... This is my medium!
