2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee listed with a salvage title. The auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1’s assessment reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with severe deformation and breakage across the hood and front bumper area. The hood has multiple pronounced creases and folds across the front section, and its leading edge is raised and deformed above the grille. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are severely crushed and torn on the right side of the vehicle, with cracked surfaces, open gaps, and missing sections of bumper material. A portion of the black wheel-arch/front-fender trim is missing near the front lamp area, exposing mounting holes and the underlying edge. The surrounding front lamp and adjacent fascia are separated and damaged, although the condition of the lamp lens is not fully clear. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, the passenger-side dashboard airbag, and the lower driver-side dashboard airbag. The vehicle should therefore be expected to require comprehensive collision repairs, airbag-system replacement, and inspection of related restraints, wiring, sensors, structural components, cooling systems, and mechanical systems before it can be considered roadworthy. The findings do not confirm the condition of components that are not visible. Official recall records include a 2018 wiring recall concerning cruise-control disengagement. Affected vehicles should not use cruise control until the required software update has been completed. Additional recalls apply depending on the vehicle’s production date, engine, and equipment: a tow-hook bracket recall for certain 2017 Grand Cherokees manufactured from August 8 through August 16, 2016; EGR-cooler and high-pressure fuel-pump recalls for vehicles equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine; and a crankshaft-position-sensor tone-wheel recall for certain 3.0L diesel vehicles. A separate recall applies to certain SRT/SRT8 vehicles fitted with specified aftermarket ProCharger superchargers. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorized dealer before purchase.
