My JVC GR-DX25E got the same problem. No direct sun recording, and no hot car, but same problem. I prefered sending it to service, and it was also the CCD. I got a new LYH20646-001A (code in bill) or LYH30446-0024-S (code in box where they packed the broken one for me), for 58,62 € (~50€), and 63,33€ (~54$) for 100 minutes work.
