2017 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT 4X2

The 2017 Jeep Renegade is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is “REAR END,” but the available photo review does not clearly support that code: the liftgate, rear bumper, and taillamps appear intact, while the visible damage is concentrated around the left-rear wheel and quarter-panel area. The most significant observed damage is at the left-rear wheel area. The wheel and tire assembly is displaced from its normal position, located below and outboard of the wheel opening, with the wheel well and internal components exposed. The left-rear wheel-arch molding is also missing, leaving fastener holes and inner wheel-well components visible. This damage should be treated as potentially affecting suspension, wheel-hub, brake, axle, and surrounding structural components; a complete mechanical and underbody inspection is required before determining the repair scope or roadworthiness. The tan fabric front seat cushions and rear seat upholstery show multiple dark stains or discolorations. These are recorded as minor cosmetic findings, although their cause and whether cleaning will fully remove them cannot be determined from the findings provided. NHTSA recall records include three campaigns applicable to certain 2017 Jeep Renegade vehicles. Recall 17V485000 concerns instrument-cluster software that may illuminate malfunction indicators incorrectly. Recall 18V131000 applies to certain vehicles with the 2.4L engine and involves a potentially cracked oil-pump housing/balance-shaft module that could cause engine stalling. Recall 18V731000 applies to certain 2017–2018 4x2 flex-fuel/E85 vehicles with the 2.4L engine and concerns possible fuel-pressure loss from a fuel-pump assembly defect. Recall completion and vehicle-specific applicability should be verified by VIN with Jeep or an authorized dealer before purchase.
