Default CD Problems

Last week I took the first long trip in my SC. 1200 miles. Normaly I listen to satalite but due to the time in the saddle I took some CD's.

Some times the left channel is not as loud as it should be. It also seems that if I hit a bump it might come back in for a while.

This does not happen on FM or Satalite.

Anyone else had this problem? I am thinking the head of the CD is not scanning properly or is out of align.

Can Lexus fix this? Car is '07 and still in waranty.

By the way, great trip, comfortable, plenty of room for suitcase, briefcase, golfclubs and a little shopping.

Thanks,
Surt

Golf clubs? In the trunk?

I have a Bobby Jones carry bag. I keep it in the trunk all the time. Fits in with the top up or down. Obviously no luggage in the trunk with the golf bag when the top is down. If I have my wife with me we put her clubs in the back seat. That's about all it is good for. Surt

I figured it was the small bag. I have one of the large "Pro" bags with a built in beer cooler! It barely fits in the back seat.

If it only happens on while the CD is playing then the head unit is suspect. Lexus will need to duplicate the problem so best to explain the circumstances in depth to when it occurs.
Let is know how it ends up
