2017 DODGE JOURNEY SXT

The vehicle is a 2017 Dodge Journey SXT, identified as a front-wheel-drive SUV/MPV with a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 engine and seating for up to seven occupants. It was manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Salvage, with “ROLLOVER” recorded as the primary damage classification. According to the Stage 1 photo assessment, the visible evidence does not support the ROLLOVER/ALL OVER claim: the damage shown is concentrated on the right-front and right-side body, while the roof, rear body, opposite side, and most glass appear largely intact. The salvage certificate itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main visible damage is severe on the right side. The right front door has a large irregular dent with multiple deep creases and distorted sheet metal around the handle and front edge. The right front fender is heavily crushed and creased above and behind the front wheel. The right front edge of the hood is raised and irregular, and the right front bumper corner has an uneven opening with visibly poor panel alignment adjacent to the damaged fender. Minor cosmetic wear includes light-colored surface scratches and scuffs across the hood and lower front bumper. The front driver’s seat cushion also has worn and frayed upholstery in the forward inner seating area. A VIN decode identifies standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, direct tire-pressure monitoring, front airbags, side airbags for all rows, and a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine. The transmission type was not provided. Two safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging under certain short-circuit conditions; the remedy involves a free software update, and cruise control should not be used until the repair is completed. Recall 22V723000 concerns insufficient brightness of the amber side reflex reflector in the headlamp assembly; the remedy is free headlamp replacement. Repair completion should be verified with an authorized Dodge or Chrysler dealer. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including the suspension, steering, wheel and tire, hood and door operation, structural mounting points, airbag and restraint systems, wiring, and mechanical components affected by the reported impact.
