cd-r skipping in stock cd-player

Well, I just bought a 05 SXT in Jan and I love it. The only thing I know of that was wrong with it, was it was leaking AF bad, I was filling the resevoir once a week (it was almost empty), so took it back the first time, bottom hose clamp (radiator side), was fine for about a week or so then it started leaking again. Took it back, bottom hose clamp (engine side).
Funny thing, since it was a new car the dealer thought I just wanted free AF and kept saying "it must be burping". I laughed it off, but after the 4th or 5th time, it got annoying. Finally they fixed it (I THINK) last week, and guess what... it hasnt "burped" yet. Resevoir it at the exact same level it was when I got it back (when the AF is hot of course).
Anyway, my problem is, no matter what cd-r's I try, it seems like the stock cd-player doesn't want to play them right. Constantly skipping, I know its not the cd, nor the burn itself since it works fine anywhere else.
I've heard of quite a few storeys of people saying a lot of the newer cd-players have a hard time playing cd-r's for some reason. Has anyone had any of these problems, anything work to fix it? (different brand of cd-r maybe?)
Overall I love the car, and can't wait for the warm weather to have time to work on it.
EDIT: I know I can easily buy a deck and slap it in, but since the car is only 2 months old, I'm not voiding the warranty.

I had problems with my 5 disc in-dash player on my '00 Neon. Installing an aftermarket deck shouldn't void your warranty as long as the deck doesn't interfere with any other systems. If they can prove that the installation or proper usage of said device/part interferes or damages another system, that's when it will void your warranty. My new deck works GREAT with all types of CD's no matter the type, burned or otherwise. I bought a pretty cheap system and I love it, not a skip since installation.

I've used the "Black" Memorex cd-r's, which i love for everything. I also bought Maxell CD-R Music Pro (praying it would work lol). I will try the white label Memorex though.
Well, I figured they could say, "Oh, you installed (or had installed) a aftermarket deck, thats why your ECM (insert any electrical part here) burned up", we'll fix it, but your warranty wont cover it.

One other thing you could try, is to have the cd player checked. It may be malfunctioning.
