2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Patriot is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and an auction primary-damage classification of REAR END. The visible severe rear-end damage supports the auction’s REAR END classification; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are deeply crushed and heavily creased around the fuel-filler door, with extensive paint damage and exposed components near the rear corner. The upper rear body and rear-window frame are also bent and irregular, with damaged edge material around the opening. The rear window glass is completely missing, leaving an exposed aperture with jagged glass remnants around the perimeter. The liftgate is severely dented, creased, and distorted across the lower, center, side, and license-plate-recess areas. The outer rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement and other components behind it. Electrical wiring and additional rear components are visibly exposed below and behind the liftgate and bumper area. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive Jeep Patriot Latitude SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and hydraulic brakes. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle’s model year: recall 16V907000 concerns the crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector, which may operate intermittently and cause the engine to stall. The stated remedy is replacement of the connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer. The documented damage is concentrated at the rear and appears extensive. The condition of the underlying structure, rear lighting, wiring, restraint systems, drivetrain, suspension, and mechanical components is not established by these findings and should be checked through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
