If you dont want to buy a new one then here are some things to try.

Different CD's - try different color dyes on the cd's because they effect the reflectivity of the CD and how easy it is for the laser to read them.

Different burning speeds - Some people have no problems at lower speeds but other people have to burn at highger speeds to make them work (I would guess that you currently burn at high speeds so try going down as low as your burner will burn)

Clean the Cd-player - This may or may not help any but if the other dont work try it.

If you are still under warranty by ford complain about it and see if they can fix it (some poeple got theirs adjusted or replaced because of problems with it reading cd's)

thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.
