2017 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4X4

This 2017 Jeep Renegade is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” These are auction-record designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” classification; the salvage certificate of title cannot be confirmed from photos. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely crushed, with deep creasing and buckling across the front and center sections, along with scraped and missing paint. The front bumper cover, lower fascia, and surrounding front fascia are severely cracked, torn, deformed, and separated on both sides. Several plastic sections are broken, missing, or displaced, and internal components and loose parts are visible through the openings. The upper driver-side windshield has a moderate spiderweb-style crack. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, the driver lower-knee airbag area, and the passenger dashboard airbag. The instrument cluster displays the message “Service Airbag System,” indicating that the restraint system requires inspection and repair. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive, five-seat Jeep Renegade Latitude with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and a 16-inch wheel specification. It was manufactured by FCA Italy in Melfi, Italy. Official recalls listed for the 2017 Jeep Renegade include campaigns concerning the fuel pump, instrument-cluster software, and the 2.4-liter engine oil-pump/balance-shaft module. Applicability and completion should be verified by VIN and with an authorized Jeep dealer, particularly because the fuel-pump recall description is configuration-specific. A complete inspection should address the structural front-end components, cooling and engine-bay systems, steering and suspension, wiring, windshield, and all airbag and seat-belt restraint components before repair or purchase.
