2017 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED 4X4

The 2017 Jeep Compass is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the auction’s FRONT END claim; however, the salvage certificate status could not be confirmed from the photos. The front corner has severe collision damage. The fender is heavily crushed and creased around the wheel arch, with torn and irregular edges near the headlamp and bumper junction. The adjacent hood corner is bent upward, with an irregular gap at the fender. The bumper cover has extensive cracking, tearing, scuffing, deformation, and separated sections, including damage extending into the center and lower opening areas. The headlamp area on the affected side has broken and missing outer components, leaving a dark open section with fractured edges. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The extent of the impact means that repairs may involve more than the visibly damaged exterior panels. The front structure, lighting and electrical systems, steering-wheel airbag system, restraint controls, cooling components, suspension, steering, and wheel alignment should be physically inspected before purchase. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until all necessary structural and safety-system repairs have been completed and verified. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a left-hand-drive 2017 Jeep Compass Limited SUV, manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. It has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, 4WD/4x4 drivetrain, seating for five, and standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain airbags, and front driver and passenger airbags. The transmission type was not provided. NHTSA recall records supplied for this model year include campaign 17V740000 for instrument-cluster backlighting that may not be adjustable; campaign 17V301000 concerning possible improper engagement or breakage of the left front halfshaft on vehicles equipped with a six-speed transmission; and campaign 17V433000 concerning incorrect jump-start instructions in the owner’s guide. A further equipment campaign, 17V824000, concerns certain Kidde fire extinguishers and may depend on the specific equipment supplied with the vehicle. Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided, so the VIN should be checked with an authorized Jeep dealer before purchase.
