I agree with t-dot...I think your factory deck is on it's way out. I'm also running the factory deck still, and it never skips, even on bumpy roads. Only time it does skip is on CD-R's with TONS of scratches on them. I also play mine long and hard enough that the CD's get hot, and the stereo never quits. Take the car to your favourite dealership and show the service manager and indicate (as others on here suggested you do) that it's operation is unacceptable.
