2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT FWD

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front end has severe damage concentrated on the left side. The hood is extensively buckled, with multiple pronounced creases, raised sections, and an uneven leading edge. The front bumper cover is crushed, displaced, and partly missing, with a detached bumper component lying on the ground. Damaged or absent fascia sections leave internal components and mounting areas exposed. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are severely deformed, with bent panel edges, irregular gaps, displaced trim, and exposed inner areas. The left headlamp surround, grille surround, and adjacent fascia are damaged and uneven. The lower front area is open, with the radiator and other components visible behind the damaged or missing bumper sections. The visible findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, cooling, lighting, restraint, steering, or suspension systems, which require a physical inspection and functional testing. Additional damage is present at the rear. The liftgate has a moderate depression and uneven sheet metal around the license-plate recess and lower center section, along with minor scuffing on the lower-right area. A minor horizontal paint scuff is also visible on the rear quarter panel above the wheel arch. A recorded NHTSA recall, campaign 16V907000, applies to certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured from May 9 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 affected sensor connector by an authorized dealer, free of charge. Vehicle build-date applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Chrysler or an authorized dealer.
