You have to keep in mind the unit is now anywhere from 6 to 14 years old, You can try to have it cleaned and adjusted, That might help.

I have a 2004 C5 and had similar issues - the fix? Bypassed the CD changer so I can use my old Sansa (IPOD).
Here is what you will need to get....less than $80, provided you have an IPOD or Sansa, Zune....
1. PIE GM10-AUX
2. 3.5MM-RCA CABLE - 10 feet long
3. IPOD or equivalent
I just did this to mine, posted in the audio section.

I have the same problem,, I have 2002, with the skipping changer,, I was told to unbolt it and install soft rubbers washers, or place a foam backing to the unit, to take up the shock from bumps. I have not try ed it yet, But on my list to do soon.

The only trouble with going this way is that it will not charge the ipod.

I've got an '04. Recently the CD changer has been stopping in the middle of tracks then sending ERR to the display and ultimately flipping back to the radio mode.
Or, on tight curves it creates a noticible static sound when playing a CD. I changed the disc pack, the discs, the disc platters, etc. Nothing changes the way its been acting. Took vehicle to dealership (I have $0 deductible GMPP). Service dept. said, "No problem, will install a new player."
My opinion of your problem isn't going to get fixed with more shock absorption unless its done internal the the unit. I think you need a new unit, a used unit from the For Sale section or get yours refurbished. JMO.
