Jeep Wrangler Fails IIHS Crash Test, Again
Photo: IIHS The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited after the collision U.S. agency Insurance Institute for Highway Safety puts a significant number of vehicles through its crash tests each year, which helps determine which models are the safest on the market.
This is all excellent. And it’s shining a not-so-flattering light on the Jeep Wrangler, which is having a devil of a time with the agency’s small overlap crash test in particular. Basically, in that test, only 25 percent of the front of the vehicle comes into contact with an obstacle, causing it to rotate on itself.Photo: IIHS The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited The Jeep Wrangler’s reaction to this type of collision is cause for concern, evidently.
There was actually some communication between the IIHS and Jeep after the tests two years ago. When the Wrangler rolled over the first time, FCA wondered if the result was related to the method IIHS engineers were using to attach the vehicle to the system that creates the crash. A second test was then carried out, in approval with FCA, with the same result.
