Years ago when I still had my dealership a couple of miles from the space center in Florida we had a series of problems (we weren't alone as evidently this was also a minor national problem) with car radios mysteriously losing their minds and going a tad whacko. It was several months before someone was able to point to a source. It seemed that it would happen most often on a certain stretch of highway that passed the Canaveral Air Force base and the likely culprit was a spurious radio or radar frequency that would confuse the internal tuning circuits in the factory radios. Once Chrysler added a bit more shielding to those circuits the problem went away.
Even now my '99 XK8 will every once in awhile switch from FM to AM when passing under a major high tension transmission line. I would think if it starts happening a lot that the electronic 'noise' suppression circuits were failing.
Only an semi-educated guess mind you but probably pretty close.
