2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT FWD

The 2016 Jeep Patriot is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title. The auction’s primary-damage code is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage code, with extensive damage at the front-right corner; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front-right bumper cover is severely broken, detached, and folded outward, with missing sections and exposed internal components. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and components behind it exposed. The hood has a raised, irregular front-right edge with a large uneven gap above the grille and fender. The front-right fender is sharply bent, creased, and displaced around the headlamp opening and upper wheel-arch area. Additional broken plastic and exposed front-end components are visible with the hood open. These findings indicate that inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting wiring, suspension, steering, and other components will be necessary before repair or road use. The rear-right taillamp area is covered with red tape, and the condition of the lens or lamp assembly cannot be determined from the provided findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive Jeep Patriot Sport SUV/MPV equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States. One NHTSA recall is listed for this model year: recall 16V907000 concerns the crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector, which may operate intermittently and cause the engine to stall. The stated remedy was replacement of the connector by a dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified for this vehicle by VIN before purchase.
