2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation of the right rear door, quarter panel, and wheel-arch area supports this unverified SIDE classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right rear quarter panel has a large, irregular dented and creased area around the fuel door and above the rear wheel opening. The right rear passenger door is deformed and creased along its rear and lower section next to the quarter-panel damage. The plastic right rear wheel-arch cladding is irregular and partially separated, with visible gaps along its upper section. The quarter-panel and door damage are assessed as moderate, while the wheel-arch-trim damage is minor. Further inspection is required to assess hidden damage, panel alignment, wheel or suspension components, and the condition of the fuel-door area. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Applicability depends on the vehicle’s engine, production date, equipment, and recall completion status. Relevant records include recalls for the 3.0L diesel engine’s crankshaft-position sensor tone wheel and high-pressure fuel pump, an EGR cooler issue on 3.0L EcoDiesel vehicles, and a wiring defect that could prevent cruise control from disengaging. Additional recalls concern certain 3.6L vehicles, front brake calipers, and the transmission shift-interlock system. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer before purchase.
