2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X4

The auction records designate this 2017 Jeep Renegade as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. The front-end damage claim is supported by the reported visible deformation and breakage; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The front of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely raised and deformed across its front section, with pronounced creasing and an uneven edge above the grille. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are broken and separated, with torn edges, open gaps, large openings, and exposed internal components. One front corner is crushed and torn, while the headlamp assembly is missing from the opposite front corner, leaving an open cavity. The grille surround and adjacent fascia have scuffed and deformed edges with uneven gaps. With the hood raised, additional front-end components are exposed around the grille and headlamp area. The instrument cluster displays a “Parking Light Out” warning. Mechanical, structural, cooling-system, restraint-system, and electrical operation should be physically inspected before purchase, as these findings do not establish the condition of components behind the damaged exterior or whether the vehicle is safe to drive. Official NHTSA recall information lists three recalls for certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles. Recall 17V485000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may cause malfunction indicator lamps to illuminate incorrectly. Recall 18V131000 applies to vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine and concerns a potentially cracked oil-pump housing/balance-shaft module that could cause an engine stall. Recall 18V731000 applies to certain 4x2 flex-fuel/E85 vehicles with a 2.4L engine and concerns possible fuel-pressure loss that could also result in a stall. Applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with a Jeep dealer.
