2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X4

The vehicle is a 2017 Jeep Renegade with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the left front fender, wheel-arch trim, hood edge, and bumper corner show damage or missing components. Additional damage is visible on the left rear quarter panel. At the left front, the outer fender panel and black wheel-arch molding are missing, exposing the wheel-arch area and mounting points. The left front bumper corner has gaps, broken or displaced plastic, and separation around the side-marker and wheel-arch areas. The left edge of the hood is bent and creased adjacent to the missing fender. The left rear quarter panel has a pronounced dent and sharp crease just ahead of the rear wheel arch, with localized paint scuffing. The visible front seat cushions also have multiple dark stains and areas of discoloration. NHTSA recall records identify three campaigns for the 2017 Jeep Renegade. Recall 17V485000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may cause warning lamps to illuminate incorrectly. Recall 18V131000 applies to certain vehicles with the 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 the 2.4L engine and concerns possible fuel-pressure loss that could also result in stalling. The vehicle’s VIN should be checked with Jeep or an authorized dealer to confirm applicability and whether all recall repairs have been completed. A physical inspection is recommended to assess hidden structural, suspension, steering, lighting, cooling, restraint-system, and mechanical damage, as well as to confirm the completeness and roadworthiness of the repairs.
