2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FWD

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Visible damage to the hood, left front fender, grille area, bumper cover, and exposed front components supports the stated FRONT END damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left front hood edge is moderately dented and creased, with an uneven raised gap above the grille and left fender. The left front fender is severely crushed and deformed around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The front bumper cover is missing from the left and center sections, leaving brackets and other front-end components exposed. The left wheel-arch liner and adjacent plastic trim are detached and hanging below the fender. The left grille surround and adjacent fascia are severely cracked, displaced, and missing sections. The lower front cover is also missing, exposing the radiator and other components behind the remaining bumper structure. Around the left headlamp, the outer trim and surrounding structure are broken and displaced; the headlamp lens itself is not clearly cracked in the available image. The remaining upper bumper section has additional cracking, scuffing, and an uneven damaged edge. Inside the vehicle, dark vertical discoloration marks are visible on the right rear seat cushion. A listed NHTSA safety recall, campaign 16V907000, applies to certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016. The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may operate intermittently, potentially causing the engine to stall and increasing crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the sensor connector by a dealer at no charge. The vehicle’s build date and recall completion status should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer.
