2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FWD

The auction record identifies this 2016 Jeep Patriot as having a “CERT OF TITLE-FLOOD SALVAGE” condition, with “WATER/FLOOD” listed as the primary damage. However, Stage 1’s photo review found no visible horizontal tide line, waterline staining, mud or silt residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion on the seats, rails, door sills, or dashboard wiring. The instrument cluster displays normally, although warning indicators are illuminated. Based on the provided photo review, the visible evidence does not support the unverified flood-damage claim. The documented exterior damage is limited to minor cosmetic surface scuffs and faint irregular linear marks on the lower portions of the left front and rear doors. A safety recall is listed for certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016. Recall 16V907000 concerns intermittent operation of the crankshaft or camshaft sensor, which may cause the engine to stall. The specified remedy is replacement of the sensor connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. VIN-specific recall applicability and completion should be confirmed before purchase.
