2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is listed by the auction with a salvage vehicle title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front. The front left corner is extensively crushed, with the left fender and wheel arch broken open, sections of the wheel-arch trim and inner liner missing or detached, and the left headlamp shattered or displaced. The left side of the front bumper and lower fascia is torn away, exposing internal components. The grille is also displaced at its left edge. The hood is creased, raised, and uneven, with an abnormal gap above the grille and left headlamp. The front right fender and wheel opening are heavily crushed, with body material detached and wheel-area components exposed. A wheel and tire assembly is visibly detached and positioned in front of the damaged corner. Both front doors have substantial dents and creases, particularly across their forward and center sections. Light scuffing and discoloration are present along the left-side doors. Several airbags are visibly deployed, including the steering-wheel airbag, front passenger airbag, and side curtain airbags. Curtain airbag fabric is hanging from the roof and side areas. Interior trim is displaced: a large trim panel is lying across the rear seating area, and the right rear seatback appears folded or displaced with seat foam exposed. The instrument cluster displays “Service Power Steering” along with multiple warning indicators. This is a significant power-steering system fault indication, although the underlying cause cannot be determined from the available findings. The vehicle should not be assumed roadworthy until the steering system, collision-related electrical systems, restraint systems, suspension, wheel assemblies, and structural areas have been physically inspected and repaired. The supplied recall records include campaign 18V332000 concerning a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; cruise control should not be used until the applicable repair is verified. Additional recalls apply only to certain configurations or equipment, including 3.0L EcoDiesel models (20V699000, 22V406000, and 23V411000), certain 2017 vehicles manufactured from August 8 through August 16, 2016 (16V686000), and certain SRT/SRT8 vehicles equipped with an aftermarket ProCharger supercharger (17E061000). Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with a Jeep dealer.
