2020 DODGE JOURNEY SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” claim; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2020 Dodge Journey has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The front fender and wheel-arch area are sharply deformed, with fractured or displaced edges and exposed internal components. The headlamp assembly is displaced, and the hood has a raised, uneven front edge with significant misalignment. The grille is broken and displaced, while sections of the front fascia are missing or displaced, leaving the radiator and other components exposed. The front bumper cover has extensive cracking, broken edges, and separated sections. The lower bumper trim is detached and hanging beneath the vehicle. Additional severe damage is visible at the rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area, where a large inward dent and multiple sharp creases are present. The adjacent bumper corner is separated from the body, with dark scrape marks and paint abrasions in the area. Several minor dark linear scuff marks are also visible on the lower portions of the driver-side front and rear doors. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and white airbag fabric is hanging from the roof-side area behind the front seating area, indicating deployment of a side or curtain airbag. The condition of other restraint-system components, the structural members, mechanical systems, electrical systems, cooling system, and vehicle operability cannot be determined from the provided findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan would be required before repair or purchase decisions. According to the VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive Dodge Journey SUV/MPV with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, listed as an SE trim and manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico.
