2019 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS FWD

This 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus is listed in the auction record with a salvage title and “REAR END” as the primary damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing rear hatch glass and damage to the left rear quarter panel support the stated rear-end code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The rear hatch glass is missing, leaving an open window aperture with exposed, irregular surrounding edges. The rear hatch and bumper have multiple light scratches and scuff marks. The left rear quarter panel, below and behind the taillight, has a visible inward dent with pronounced creasing around the rear lamp and bumper junction. Additional scratches and scuffs are present on the left rear quarter panel and adjacent bumper corner. Light surface scuffs and dirt-like marks are also visible on the front bumper and hood, with no clear deformation noted in that view. According to the VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive/4x2 SUV with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 184 horsepower. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States. The vehicle is configured with five seats, 17-inch wheels, front and side-curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and a standard rear-visibility system. The transmission type is not specified in the available data. Official recalls listed for this 2019 Jeep Cherokee include issues involving the instrument cluster, automatic transmission, air-bag impact sensors, steering rack, passenger-seat mounting bolts, the powertrain control module, and rear brake caliper performance. The 2.4-liter engine is specifically included in the recall concerning transmission calibration and possible stalling. A separate engine recall listed for 2.0-liter engines does not correspond to the decoded 2.4-liter engine. Additional recalls concern the power transfer unit, including one with a remedy involving software updates and possible PTU replacement, and another for which the remedy is still under development according to the supplied record. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer or NHTSA before purchase. The available findings are limited to visible exterior damage. The missing hatch glass and creased rear quarter panel should be inspected along with the hatch structure, rear bumper mounting points, taillight area, wiring, interior for glass contamination or water exposure, and the vehicle’s mechanical and safety systems before repair or road use.
