Five problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2017

The over heating light turns on on the dash and my car over heats after driving on the highway going over 50mph for more than 15 minutes. However, if I drive on state roads going 50mph or under the car doesn't over heat. I got a new thermostat and new radiotor thinking it would solve the problem and it did not. There is no leak coming from the car so it is not a water pump issue. The coolant levels are good.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2013

I purchased a 2009 Jeep Patriot in July of 2013 with 27,000 miles. From the very first hard rain fall the sunroof leaked. For the first few months, due to insufficient rainfall, I thought I had not properly closed the sunroof the few times it leaked. However, soon afterwards it became clear that it was leaking. The water enters my interior roof and trails to the lowest point, my dome lights and screw holes, where it exits onto my dash and radio. My radio has been damaged. I took it to a garage last week and they unstopped the drainage tubes for $224. 00. It did not leak for about a week and then I went out this morning, after a heavy rainfall last night, and it was leaking again! I have found and contacted an attorney who has filed a class action lawsuit against Chrysler for this problem.
