The cd player with time has at times not always ejected cd's and other times would not always switch cd's. Now the darn thing just tells me error and will not play any cd's. It is going to cost me 15.00 at the electronics store to remove the player and retrieve my music. I have not met anyone yet that has a functional cd player. Ford needs to fix this issue.....

The CD player is completely jammed, it happened while I was trying to switch from Disc 1 ot Disc 2 in the six-cd changer. Now it won't change, play, eject or load CDs. It says "CD ERROR". I called my local Ford dealership and explained the problem, and the service manager told me I'd just have to get a new one - though after research, I've found this is a recurring problem that has plagued many another 2001-2003 Escape owner. It sounds like faulty equipment to me, and I don't intend to have a Ford dealership intall another six-cd changer that could equally be problematic.

When I bought this car used at 65,000 miles the CD player wouldn't eject CDs consistently. I don't know how early it started.

GRRRR! I have never seen such a cheap audio system!! I have tried to get CDs out of my 6cd changer, but I have to wait until it cools down, or try and find something to dig it out. Why does it get so hot? Now I know why I was reluctant to buy a Ford! Should have kept looking around!
