2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee listed with a salvage title and an auction-reported primary damage classification of FRONT END. Visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim: the front bumper has a cracked and separated corner near the lower headlamp and fog-lamp area, and trim surrounding one fog-lamp opening is missing. The outer molding along the upper and rear portion of the front wheel arch is also absent, with mounting holes and exposed panel edges visible. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffs and discoloration along the lower front door and rocker-panel area, scratches and scuffing on the lower tailgate and adjacent rear bumper, and a small puncture or hole in the outer portion of the front driver’s seat cushion. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the available visual findings. The vehicle is associated with several NHTSA safety recalls. These include recalls concerning the power transfer unit, which may result in loss of drive power or loss of the Park function; a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; missing tire and rim information on the certification label; and, for certain vehicles, a driver’s knee air-bag inflator issue. The latest listed powertrain recall, campaign 25V011000, calls for a drivetrain control module and PTU software update and PTU replacement if necessary. Recall completion should be verified with an authorized Jeep dealer using the vehicle identification number before purchase.
