2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 4X4

The vehicle is a 2016 Jeep Patriot with a salvage-title designation and an auction-listed primary damage classification of FRONT END. The auction’s front-end damage claim is supported by the visible evidence: the front left headlamp assembly is missing, exposing the cavity and internal components, while the surrounding fender, fascia, and bumper corner are visibly deformed and cracked. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front left fender is creased and bent above and behind the wheel arch. The front left bumper cover and black fascia have cracking, broken plastic edges, and deformation around the missing headlamp opening. Replacement of the headlamp assembly and repair or replacement of the affected body and bumper components should be expected. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, electrical, suspension, or mechanical components, so a thorough inspection is recommended before purchase. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a U.S.-built Jeep Patriot Sport SUV/MPV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. An official NHTSA 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 and cause the engine to stall. The stated remedy is replacement of the sensor connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. The vehicle’s recall completion status should be verified by VIN with FCA or an authorized dealer.
