2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Patriot is listed at auction with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that visible deformation of the front-left fender supports the front-end damage claim; rear bumper damage and deployed airbags are also visible. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are severely crushed, with multiple deep creases and pronounced deformation extending from the hood edge around the wheel opening. The right rear bumper corner has moderate damage, including deformation, heavy abrasion, an open gap, and a detached or missing section of the lower black trim. The windshield has a visible vertical crack on the driver-side area. Both roof-mounted curtain airbags are deployed and hanging above the side windows. The front passenger-side airbag is also deployed and protruding from the outer side of the passenger seat. The restraint system will require professional assessment and likely replacement of deployed components, with inspection of related structural and electronic systems recommended. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive Jeep Patriot Latitude SUV with 4WD, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a hydraulic braking system. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States. One NHTSA recall is listed for this 2016 Jeep Patriot: recall 16V907000 concerns the engine crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector, which may work intermittently and cause the engine to stall, increasing crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase. A thorough inspection should also cover the front-end structure, wheel and suspension components, windshield, airbag system, wiring, and vehicle drivability.
