2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports this damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The front of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed, creased, and folded across the leading edge and both front corners. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the radiator, condenser area, mounting hardware, wiring, and other internal components. Multiple front-end parts, including bumper, grille, liner, trim, and mounting pieces, are detached and show cracking, broken edges, or deformation. Both front fenders are deformed around the wheel openings. The front corner panels and hood edges have folds, displaced surfaces, and broken edges. One headlamp area is missing its lamp assembly and surrounding fascia, leaving wiring and internal components exposed; damage is also present around the opposite front lamp and fascia area. Inside the vehicle, both the steering-wheel and passenger-side airbags are deployed. The windshield has multiple cracks and fractured areas, particularly in the upper-left and central sections. The provided recall information includes several campaigns that may be relevant to this model year. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; Chrysler’s stated remedy was a software update, and cruise control was advised not to be used until the repair was completed. Recall 16V686000 applies to certain 2017 Grand Cherokees manufactured from August 8 through August 16, 2016 and concerns loose rear tow-hook or tow-eye bracket bolts. Additional recalls apply only to specific configurations: 20V699000, 22V406000, and 23V411000 concern vehicles equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine, while 17E061000 concerns certain SRT/SRT8 vehicles fitted with specified ProCharger superchargers. Recall completion and vehicle-specific applicability should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer. A complete mechanical, structural, restraint-system, wiring, cooling-system, and underbody inspection is recommended before purchase.
