2017 JEEP COMPASS TRAILHAWK 4X4

Auction records list this 2017 Jeep Compass as having a salvage certificate with damage exceeding 75%, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible left-side body damage and missing left front wheel support the stated SIDE classification; however, the exterior photographs cannot confirm that the total damage exceeds 75%. The left front wheel and tire assembly is missing entirely. The wheel well is open, with suspension and brake components exposed. The left front door has a broad crease, several irregular depressions, and scraped or discolored paint. Similar dents, creases, and paint scraping are present on the left rear door and adjacent lower side panel. The left rear quarter panel also shows surface depressions and abraded paint around the wheel opening and lower body. The hood has a large dull or discolored area with lighter scuff marks and streaks. The instrument cluster displays a Stop/Start system unavailable message and multiple warning indicators, including brake, tire-pressure, traction-control, and engine-related symbols. The Stop/Start warning is a concern that should be checked, along with the causes of the other illuminated indicators. The missing wheel assembly and visible suspension and brake components require a thorough inspection for damage before the vehicle is moved or operated. The photographs do not establish the condition of the steering, suspension, braking, drivetrain, or wheel-hub components. According to the VIN decode, this is a Trailhawk-trim, left-hand-drive Jeep Compass SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-litre gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a five-passenger configuration. It was manufactured by Chrysler de Mexico at the Toluca Assembly plant in Mexico. NHTSA records identify recalls for this vehicle’s make, model, and year involving the instrument-cluster backlighting (campaign 17V740000), the left front halfshaft on vehicles equipped with a six-speed transmission (17V301000), incorrect jump-start instructions in the owner’s guide (17V433000), and certain Kidde fire extinguishers supplied with applicable vehicles or equipment (17V824000). Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorised dealer, particularly for the instrument cluster and left front halfshaft campaigns.
