2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FWD

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **salvage certificate** with **FRONT END** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the hood, front bumper, front fascia, front fenders, and windshield supports the stated FRONT END claim. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed, with deep horizontal creases, torn and sharply folded metal along the front edge, and large uneven gaps above the grille and headlights. The front bumper cover is displaced and deformed, with separated sections and a lower portion hanging away from the vehicle. The grille and upper fascia are distorted, with folded sections and uneven gaps around the grille and headlights. The driver-side front fender is severely crushed and folded around the headlight area and wheel opening. The passenger-side front fender also has visible deformation and uneven gaps along the front corner and hood edge. Both visible front corner lamps and their surrounding trim are displaced, with separation between the bumper and fender edges. The windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking concentrated on the driver’s side, with multiple cracks extending across the glass. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays ABS, airbag, and traction-control warning indicators. These findings indicate that restraint and vehicle safety systems require inspection and repair before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The rear seat cushion has minor visible scuffing and abrasion marks. An NHTSA recall record is listed for campaign **16V907000**, concerning certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles. The recall involves an engine crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector that may work intermittently and cause the engine to stall, increasing crash risk. The listed remedy is replacement of the connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorized dealer. The visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle and includes severe body, glass, and airbag damage. A complete physical inspection is required to determine the condition of underlying structural, electrical, restraint, and mechanical components.
