A k9 is left behind with no one alive in the jail. Not purposefully abandoned I guess but I'd count it.

The climax of the film involves a woman pulled apart. It happens entirely off screen and is central to the film's story.

If being torn in half counts as amputation. In that case, yes. It's off-screen though.

Early in the movie, Ryder has been picked up by a family with a young kid. Jim tries to warn the family, but swerves off the road and the family keeps driving away with Ryder.
Jim later comes across the family's car by the roadside, and apprehensively goes to check it out. The kid's and parents' bodies aren't shown, save for some blood dripping out of the car.

The main actor (C. Thomas Howell) walks up to a car on the side of the road, knowing the lethal hitcher was in that car, he stops to look inside the car. Some blood drips on his shoe (the family in the car was obviously slaughtered, but not shown) and he runs back to his car and it happens. Just skip ahead when he's looking in the Volkswagen bug and blood falls on his shoe. Audio and visual.

Also- while eating fries in a restaurant, the same man finds a severed finger in his fries. He runs outside and starts to v* but he could just be spitting out the food. Not very graphic and it's a quick scene and happens at a good distance. Visual. (Again, he may just be spitting out his food.. really quick and not too traumatic. )

Most likely, but you'd have to armchair diagnose the antagonist to say yes, and it's never raised in the movie, and neither is it particularly dwelt on.
