2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X2

The 2017 Jeep Renegade is listed with a salvage title, with the auction identifying the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this claim: severe crushing and missing or broken components are concentrated at the left rear body corner. The most significant damage affects the left rear quarter panel, rear wheel opening, and adjacent body structure. The quarter panel is heavily crushed and torn, with exposed inner components, missing body material, and an open cavity around the wheel area. The left rear wheel and tire assembly are displaced outward and positioned at an abnormal angle. The coil spring and other suspension-area components are exposed, indicating that the rear suspension and related mounting or structural components require thorough inspection and likely repair or replacement. The lower rear section of the left rear door is severely creased and damaged, with scraped paint, exposed metal, and missing or open sections near the wheel opening. The left rear bumper corner is torn, cracked, and displaced. The left rear tail lamp is missing from the vehicle, and the damaged lamp assembly is shown separated on the ground. The left side and lower portion of the rear liftgate also have creasing, scraped paint, and deformation. Additional moderate damage is visible at the front. The hood has a raised, uneven gap along its front edge, deformation, and scraped paint at the right-front corner. The front bumper cover is scuffed and damaged, and sections of the lower grille or bumper opening are broken or missing, leaving an open rectangular area. The available findings describe visible exterior and collision damage only. The vehicle’s mechanical condition, wheel alignment, suspension integrity, structural integrity, airbag system, electrical systems, and ability to drive have not been established. A comprehensive inspection is recommended before purchase, with particular attention to the left rear suspension, wheel hub and axle area, body structure, wiring, and water or debris exposure in the open rear body cavities. NHTSA records list three recalls for certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles. Recall 18V731000 concerns potential fuel-pressure loss on certain 4x2 flex-fuel/E85 vehicles equipped with the 2.4L engine, which may cause an engine stall. Recall 17V485000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may illuminate malfunction indicators incorrectly. Recall 18V131000 concerns a potentially cracked oil-pump housing/balance-shaft module on certain vehicles equipped with the 2.4L engine, which could cause oil-pump failure and an engine stall. Applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
