2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK 4X4

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a **PUBLIC – SALVAGE TITLE** and **FRONT END** primary damage. The auction’s FRONT END classification is supported by the visible evidence: extensive crushing and deformation, broken components, exposed internal parts, and missing fascia material are visible at the front. The PUBLIC – SALVAGE TITLE status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased and distorted across the front and left side, with a large raised gap above the engine compartment and uneven gaps around the grille and headlamps. The front bumper and lower fascia are crushed, torn, displaced, and partially missing, exposing components behind the front opening. The grille is displaced and has broken, irregular plastic sections. The front fender on the image-left side is deformed around the headlamp and wheel arch. The associated plastic wheel-arch trim is broken, separated from the body, and displaced. The opposite front corner is also severely crushed and torn, with large gaps and exposed components around the headlamp and bumper. The headlamp assembly on that side is displaced, and its surrounding housing and fascia have broken edges. Inside the cabin, inflated airbag fabric is visibly protruding from the steering wheel and below the driver-side dashboard. Additional inflated airbag fabric is protruding from the passenger-side dashboard. The restraint-system condition, related sensors, dashboard components, and other safety systems require a complete inspection and likely repair or replacement assessment. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Recall 18V332000 concerns wiring that could prevent cruise control from disengaging; the listed remedy is a powertrain-control-module software update, and cruise control should not be used until the repair is completed. Recalls 20V699000, 22V406000, and 23V411000 apply to vehicles equipped with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine and concern the EGR cooler, high-pressure fuel pump, and crankshaft-position-sensor tone wheel, respectively. Their listed risks include fire, loss of drive power, or engine stalling. Recall 16V686000 concerns loose rear tow-hook or tow-eye bracket bolts on certain vehicles manufactured from August 8 through August 16, 2016. Recall 17E061000 concerns certain aftermarket ProCharger superchargers installed on Grand Cherokee SRT8 or SRT vehicles, where the mounting bracket may damage an ABS line. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer, particularly for the engine and aftermarket-equipment-related recalls. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready based on the visible damage. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, airbag, cooling-system, restraint-system, and underbody inspection is required before estimating the total repair cost or determining whether it can be safely rebuilt.
