2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

This 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with the auction’s primary damage recorded as rear end. Stage 1 reports that visible damage is present around the left rear quarter panel, wheel-arch cladding, and rear bumper, supporting a rear-end-area damage claim; however, the full extent and cause cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The left rear quarter panel has a moderate inward dent and crease extending above and behind the rear wheel opening. A section of the black left rear wheel-arch cladding is missing, leaving exposed mounting points and an open gap. The left rear bumper cover has several dark scuff marks, paint transfer, light scratches, and additional scuffing near the wheel arch. These findings indicate moderate body and trim damage concentrated at the left rear corner, with additional cosmetic damage to the bumper cover. According to the VIN decode, this is a Limited trim SUV with four-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.6-liter V6 engine, and seating for five. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in the United States. The decode identifies standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and a rear visibility system; it does not provide transmission details. NHTSA recall records for the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee include recall 18V332000 concerning a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; owners are advised not to use cruise control until the applicable software update has been completed. Recall 16V686000 concerns loose rear tow-hook bracket bolts on certain vehicles built from August 8 through August 16, 2016, so the vehicle’s production date should be verified. Other listed recalls concern 3.0-liter diesel engines or aftermarket superchargers and do not correspond to the decoded 3.6-liter gasoline Limited configuration. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer. A professional inspection is recommended to check for hidden structural or suspension damage, damage behind the bumper and quarter panel, proper wheel alignment, secure mounting of the replacement wheel-arch cladding, and the operation of all rear lighting and safety systems.
