This is apparently a common problem among TL's. I had the same problem. Took it in twice but still happens, especially on hot days.

Seems the heat causes the latch to fail. No real fix. Try putting a magnet on the latch with cement glue.

your supposed to put Cd's in that stupid thing. There is no way they will fit, is there. I thought it was a pad of paper and pen. CD's will really fit in there?

Same thing happened to me. There is a service bulletin out on it. They have to pull your whole center console including your radio out and put in a new CD case holder. It takes about 3.5 hours to do it. Make them do it. It is a service bulletin and this is the only way to really fix the problem. I had to really get on my service guy before he would guarantee it wouldn't happen again. Yell, if they don't do it right. Yell louder. Good luck.
