2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT FWD

The auction record identifies this 2016 Jeep Patriot as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and lists SIDE as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the left side supports the SIDE damage classification, while the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The main damage is concentrated on the left front side. The left front door is extensively crushed and torn, with severely distorted metal, exposed inner areas, and a missing window. The left front fender is heavily deformed around the wheel opening and door edge. The left rocker panel and lower side sill are also severely damaged, with torn surfaces and displaced trim beneath the door. The left front door interior trim is torn and partially peeled away. Both front seating areas show deployed airbags: one beside the left front seat and another across the right front passenger-side seat and lower door area. The windshield has multiple cracks and fractured lines in its lower central section. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffs and paint marks on the left rear door and quarter panel, as well as scuffing on the left front bumper corner. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built, left-hand-drive 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport SUV with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and Sport trim. The VIN identifies FCA US LLC as the manufacturer and Belvidere Assembly in Illinois as the plant. One official NHTSA recall is listed for this make, model, and year: recall 16V907000 concerns an intermittently operating crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector, which may cause the engine to stall and increase crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the connector by a dealer free of charge. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with an authorized dealer.
