2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Patriot is listed with a certificate-of-title condition and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; the certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The vehicle has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is severely crushed and sharply creased across the front and left side, with a raised, irregular leading edge and separated panel gaps. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are torn, detached, and displaced, with some components lying on the ground beside the vehicle. Parts of the front fascia and trim are missing, exposing internal components and wiring. The grille, front-left fender area, headlamp surround, and adjacent bodywork are broken, scuffed, cracked, or displaced. The left headlamp lens appears fractured and opaque. The exposed lower front reinforcement is visibly bowed and deformed. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and front passenger dashboard airbag are deployed. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in the lower and central driver-side area. These findings indicate that substantial restraint-system, glass, body-panel, front-end, and possibly structural repairs will be required. The condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, drivetrain, electrical systems, and underlying structural members cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be physically inspected before purchase. Roadworthiness is not established. Minor surface corrosion or discoloration is also visible along the lower edge of the left rear wheel arch and near the door-jamb label. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. The VIN data lists a direct tire-pressure monitoring system and front airbags for the driver and passenger. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles: recall 16V907000 concerns an engine crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector that 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 with a Jeep dealer or NHTSA before operation.
