2016 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with a salvage-title designation recorded at auction. The auction lists “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this damage classification, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front-left area has severe collision damage. The fender is deeply creased and crushed around the headlamp and wheel arch, and the front-left headlamp assembly has fractured and displaced lens and housing sections. The front-left bumper corner and adjacent lower fascia are torn, crushed, and displaced, with open gaps visible. A long black lower-bumper trim piece is detached and lying in front of the vehicle. The left-front edge of the hood is moderately creased, with an uneven raised section above the damaged fender and headlamp. Light scuffing and surface abrasions are visible on portions of the left-side front and rear doors and the lower rocker area. Inside, the driver’s seat outer bolster and front edge show minor leather abrasion, creasing, and finish wear. The instrument cluster displays the warning, “Low Beam Headlight Out,” indicating that the low-beam lighting system requires diagnosis and repair. Factory data identifies this vehicle by VIN 1C4PJMBS2GW164262 as a four-wheel-drive SUV/MPV built in the United States at Toledo North Assembly. It has a 3.2-liter gasoline V6 engine and left-hand drive. NHTSA records list multiple recalls for the 2016 Jeep Cherokee, including campaigns involving cruise-control deactivation, power-liftgate wiring and fire risk on vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, seat fasteners, possible halfshaft failures on specific production dates, and power-transfer-unit faults that may cause loss of drive or Park function. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorized dealer before purchase. Due to the extensive front-end damage and the active lighting warning, a complete structural, suspension, steering, electrical, restraint-system, and mechanical inspection is recommended before any repair or registration decision.
