2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X2

The auction record lists this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with FRONT END identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end classification, based on extensive damage to the hood, front fender, headlamp area, and bumper. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily crushed, deeply creased, folded, and raised above the engine compartment. One front fender and portions of the wheel-arch area are severely deformed or missing, leaving mounting points, wiring, and other internal components exposed. A front headlamp assembly is missing. The front bumper and lower fascia are torn, cracked, displaced, and missing sections, while the grille surround and adjacent fascia are also displaced and damaged. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in the upper-left area. At the rear, the liftgate is severely deformed, with broad dents and sharp creases across the center and lower sections, including deformation around the handle and license-plate recess. The rear bumper has minor surface scuffing and vertical abrasions. Several airbags are visibly deployed or exposed. White airbag fabric is protruding from the steering wheel, the outer side of a front seat, and the passenger-side dashboard. The vehicle will require comprehensive collision repair, including inspection and likely replacement of structural, restraint-system, electrical, lighting, body, and related mechanical components. The extent of damage visible externally does not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, chassis, cooling system, suspension, or safety systems; a full physical inspection and diagnostic scan are strongly recommended before purchase. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles. Recall 17V485000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may illuminate malfunction lamps incorrectly; the remedy is a software update. Recall 18V131000 applies to certain vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine and concerns a potentially cracked oil-pump housing/balance-shaft module, which could cause engine stalling; inspection and replacement are provided as necessary. Recall 18V731000 applies to certain 2017–2018 4x2 flex-fuel/E85 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine and concerns possible fuel-pressure loss that could also cause stalling; the remedy is fuel-pump replacement. The vehicle’s configuration and recall completion status should be verified by VIN with an authorized Jeep dealer.
