I just purchased a 4x4 Latitude - less than 300 miles on the car. My wife is the primary driver, and I rarely listen to the radio, so I hadn't noticed anything, but my wife points out to me that the front passenger door speaker is fading in and out and buzzing. It sounds like someone blew the speaker. Definitely wasn't us. I'm taking it in tomorrow to see what the dealer says. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with their speakers (I apologize if this has already been addressed in a different thread, but I did not see it anywhere).

Exactly ... Trade off reliability for excitement. My 4th Jeep ... All 4 had problems ... I keep going back to playing with the same stove I keep getting burned on. I refuse to have an uninspired boring vehicle though.

I had the same issue in the back passenger side - just had it replaced under warranty
Picked up our TH 3 weeks ago and within a day or 2 we noticed same exact buzzing in right rear passenger speakers (upper and lower). Dealer had it recently to troubleshoot and learned that FCA wants full diagnostic done (prior to any part replacements). Have an appt in a week for dealer to perform diagnostic. Seems when brake is applied it amplifies the buzzing. Hang in there ya'll....have to trust Jeep will work out the kinks/quirks of its newest family. In the meantime, we are sure getting a lot of double-takes (even from Range Rover owners) impressed with our TH!

My girlfriend has a 2015 Latitude with same issue. Replaced both rear passenger door speakers to no avail. Dealer didn't hear it until this past time when it actually got worse inside the garage. They've had it over a week now, Chrysler said to replace amp. Spoke to them today said now they're having frequency issues with amp. My girlfriend and I are very disappointed. Gonna give FCA a call and give them the business about her car and my 2015 WK2. Both cars with issues that dealer can't seem to fix for ****. Hers is a lease but mine is a finance. I'm very disappointed in this product. I hope things get better from here, she didn't buy a Renegade to drive a rental! Get your **** together Jeep!
it's BACK - gah!speaker problem solved here - turned off "loudness" and "speed adjusted volume" - rocking for 2 days now
My drivers door speakers started buzzing about 3 weeks ago, goes into to dealer on March 23rd. Speaker is blown I'm sure, but it does work sometimes which I think is odd, but it sounds bad most the time now. Almost 1 year old.
Will update with results.

I had the radio and speakers replaced over the past month. The speakers did work sometimes which is definitely odd as you mentioned. The first time I took it in to have the system checked they started working fine just before I got to the dealer and by the time I got home they weren't. I went back the next day and they gave me a loaner while they played with the radio system. The tech heard the problem on the second try and they wound up replacing the radio which actually did nothing. The speaker replacement solved the problem. Factory speakers aren't very good.
I'm leaning towards the radio being the problem. I have replace all my speakers with Pioneer and tested the door speaker and replaced with the factory one, while I have it checked out at the dealer. Didn't want any crap it was the aftermarket speakers. The Pioneer that I took out tested fine and the factory speaker is doing the same thing. Makes believe it's a radio problem. I know it's going to end up being a headache with the dealer.

My passenger door speaker has started buzzing and slightly distorting on sound peaks.
It's intermittent, of course. It seems to be related to the speaker coil/magnet getting warm as it starts to happen after some 40 min into journeys and also showed up when the Jeep was parked in the sun on that side and the door was warm (Black car so gets warm in the sun!)
Ah well. Cheap rubbish speakers goes with the poor electricals.

the stock speakers are rubbish -
and to see what they used in there made me giggle, they were junk -
the magnets are small small small , and the paper in the cone looked like cheapy printer paper lol
the replacements i used were kicker brand - the stereo could not sound better with these !!
if you change just the dash speakers , cost probly 40 bux depending on what u buy - the whole system will sound better just by changing these - change the rest and its a whole new system..
good luck

You ever get this figured out? I have the same problem on my 2021 Latitude but haven't brought it in yet. I'd have guessed it was RF interference which would almost certainly be a design flaw, but given that it doesn't happen to everyone, it seems like a grounding issue to me.
