2016 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT FWD

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage strongly supports this unverified auction damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front-left corner has severe collision damage. The hood is substantially deformed, with deep folds, displaced metal, a raised left-front edge, and an irregular or torn corner. Light scratches and scuff marks are also visible on the hood. The front-left fender is missing, leaving wheel-area components and mounting surfaces exposed. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent, with exposed wiring or mounting components visible in the empty opening. The left side of the front bumper assembly is missing, detached, or damaged, and the detached bumper and related plastic components are reported lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. Broken or irregular plastic edges, exposed mounting areas, and lower front components are visible. Multiple exterior panels and trim pieces around the front-left corner are missing or deformed. An NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2016 Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured from May 9, 2016, through July 15, 2016. Recall 16V907000 concerns an intermittently functioning crankshaft or camshaft sensor connector that may cause the engine to stall, increasing crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the connector at no charge. The vehicle’s manufacturing date and recall completion status should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
