2019 DODGE DURANGO GT

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Title, with hail recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence does not support the hail claim: the hood, roof, and rear hatch/deck area appear largely smooth, without a dense pattern of small shallow dents on the upward-facing panels. The claim is therefore contradicted by the photographed exterior. The documented visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic scuffing. A small dark surface mark is present on the left side of the painted front bumper, below and to the left of the license-plate mounting area. Several dark, shallow scuff marks are also visible on the left rear bumper and the adjacent lower rear-quarter area. No other damage findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Dodge Durango GT, a gasoline-powered SUV with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It has three seat rows and seating for seven. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. NHTSA recall information lists several applicable model-year recalls. Recall 20V191000 concerns a rearview-camera image that may remain displayed after shifting out of Reverse on vehicles equipped with an 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio display; the remedy is a radio-display software update. Recall 20V183000 concerns possible premature wear of front-differential pinion gears, which could result in loss of power transfer and loss of the Park function; the remedy is front-differential replacement. Recall 22V426000 involved the ABS module and has been replaced by recall 24V838000. The newer recall concerns incorrect brake-light illumination, possible loss of ABS and ESC, and the ability to start and shift out of Park without pressing the brake pedal. The latest remedy involves replacing the integrated pressure transducer and updating the ABS-module software as necessary. Recall completion should be confirmed by checking the VIN with an authorized Dodge/FCA dealer.
