2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” However, Stage 1 reports that the photographs show substantial collision damage concentrated at the left-front corner rather than along the side, so the “SIDE” classification is not supported by the visible evidence. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main visible damage is severe and centered on the left front. The bumper cover is broken and separated at the left corner, with torn edges, open gaps, and displaced sections. The left headlamp has a damaged lens and housing, broken edges, and an irregular gap from the surrounding bodywork. The left front fender is crushed and deformed around the headlamp, wheel opening, and front edge. The outer wheel-arch trim is missing, with exposed mounting holes, and the left lower bumper opening lacks its corresponding lamp or trim assembly. The left front edge of the hood is also deformed, with an irregular gap beside the damaged headlamp and fender. Dark scuffing and scraped paint are present on the left front bumper and lower fascia. Inside, the black leather front seat cushions and bolsters show minor creasing and surface wear. No additional damage findings or known failure-pattern concerns were provided. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. Recalls 20V343000, 23V302000, and 25V011000 concern possible power-transfer-unit damage that may cause loss of drive power and/or loss of the Park function; the later recalls expand or supersede earlier PTU-related actions. Recall 18V332000 concerns cruise control that may fail to disengage because of an electrical wiring defect. Recall 17V543000 concerns missing tire-and-rim information on the certification label. Recall 16V799000 applies only to certain 2017 Cherokee vehicles manufactured from October 13 to October 17, 2016, and concerns the driver’s knee-airbag inflator. Recall completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number and service records before purchase.
