2017 DODGE JOURNEY SXT

The auction record lists the vehicle with a salvage certificate of title and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage. Visible evidence supports the unverified SIDE damage claim: substantial deformation and scraping are present on the right-side rear passenger door and quarter panel. A salvage certificate of title cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The right rear passenger door has a large, irregular dent with extensive scuffing and scraped paint. The adjacent right rear quarter panel is also heavily dented and creased, particularly around the rear wheel arch, with additional scraped paint. A side curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white airbag fabric hanging from the right-side roof area inside the passenger compartment. The extent of any damage behind the visible body panels, to the wheel or suspension components, or to other safety systems cannot be determined from these findings. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2017 Dodge Journey SXT SUV/MPV with front-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and seating for up to seven occupants. It was manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. Two NHTSA safety recalls were identified for this make, model, and year. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent the cruise control from disengaging under certain short-circuit conditions; the stated remedy is a software update, and owners were advised not to use cruise control until the repair was completed.
