2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT FWD

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate and lists “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end deformation, missing rear bumper, and missing rear lamp assemblies support the unverified rear-end damage claim. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The rear hatch and surrounding rear body panel have extensive crushing and multiple deep folded deformations. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the uneven and deformed lower bumper structure and related components. Both rear lamp assemblies are absent, leaving open lamp cavities with wiring visible. The left rear corner and quarter-panel edge are also severely deformed around the missing lamp area and hatch opening, with additional exterior trim missing from the left rear corner. Light surface scuffs are visible on the left front fender and on the side body panels around the front fender and front door area. A safety recall is listed for certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles under campaign 16V907000. The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may operate intermittently and cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall remedy is replacement of the sensor connector by an authorized dealer at no charge. Eligibility and completion should be verified by VIN with a Jeep dealer or the manufacturer, particularly because the recall applies to vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016.
