My stereo sometimes just turns off

[TheTruper]

I have a Pioneer stereo that's a little old (bout 2 years) and lately it's been turning off on me. I'll press a button or go over a bump and it turns off, or the sound turns off, and it won't turn back on until I either turn my car off and turn it back on, or I take off the faceplate and put it back on. I've taken it out and everything looks like it was plugged in right. Has onyone had a similar problem or any idea what could be going on? Thanks.

possible short within the unit. do you have the warranty?

loose wiring connection or contacts on faceplate are wearing out. try cleaning them a bit.

I vote for bad connection from deck to faceplate.

I don't have the warranty (the previous owner put it in)
But I'll try cleaning the contacts and see what happens. Thanks
