2020 DODGE JOURNEY Crossroad

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **Certificate of Destruction** and identifies the primary damage as **SIDE**. Stage 1 reports that visible abrasion and broken or missing trim in the lower side and rocker area support the auction’s SIDE damage code. However, Stage 1 also states that the Certificate of Destruction status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main visible exterior damage is concentrated below the rear door and around the rocker panel and rear wheel-arch junction. This area has extensive surface abrasion, light-colored exposed material, and multiple scrape marks. Lower side trim is broken or missing in sections, leaving irregular exposed edges and missing material. Similar white scrape marks extend along the lower rear-door and adjacent rocker areas. These repairs may require refinishing, replacement of damaged trim, and inspection for any underlying structural or mounting damage. The interior shows minor wear consistent with use. The front driver’s seat has creasing and abrasion on the outer leather bolster, the steering-wheel rim has surface gloss and wear, and the second-row leather upholstery has light scuffing and crease marks. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Dodge Journey Crossroad SUV/MPV with front-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: recall **25V552000**, concerning the rearview camera. Cracks in the camera microprocessor may cause the rearview image not to display properly, reducing the driver’s rear visibility. The listed remedy is replacement of the rearview camera by a dealer free of charge; the recall record states that interim notices began in September 2025 and that a final remedy was anticipated in July 2026. Recall completion should be verified with an authorized Dodge dealer. The provided findings are primarily visual and do not establish the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, structural, or roadworthiness condition. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended, particularly around the damaged rocker and lower side areas.
