Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999) JRS Dynamic Rollover Crash Test

[queensny1991]

so remind me what the 5 star crash rating is for again?

the odds are 1 in a million that the roof would get struck in that exact spot

[beatlespersun]

Holy crap! If I didn't know any better, I would of thought the roof was made out of canvas

[LouDogOnTheDrums]

i rolled a jeep cherokee in january, the road crushed the roof in a hell of a lot more than this

[hehh543]

And my classmates tell me how amazing Jeep is...smh. Shit on Jeep.

[SteelCity1981]

Jeep Wrangler wouldn't have this problem. OIIIIO

[TemporalxLobe]

For several years I have been heavily into offroad. And I have a few friends that own salvage yards and body shops. Jeeps are POS. I have owned my share. The Jeep Cherokee XJ in a roll over can pancake the roof into the drivers lap. I have seen it to many times where the entire roof is flattened down crushing all four passengers. They are extremely weak and flimsy in the A and B pillars. They were designed to cut manufacturing costs and the end result is a weak POS.

[PAINTBALLERization]

hey someone give me a thumbs up

[rolloverexpert]

The roof of this vehicle would behave the same on pavement.

The JRS was designed to to be able to analyze what would happen on an actual road - when compared to actual crashed vehicles, the damage patterns are similar.

The machine simulates what might happen in the real world, are you willing to risk the life of a loved one...

[trailratedJU]

Actually, the roofs on these things are pretty strong. If they had rolled the vehicle over on pavement instead of on this machine then the outcome would have been very different.

[MonkeyNinjasUnite]

@trailratedJU agreed

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

wow. volvo has really suceed in this test if you compare it to other cars.

[sc3n3cor3]

i thought it looked more like the headliner area theres another vid were u cn see its not the metal. its the headliner. but when i get mine ima put a roll cage in it.

[xMikeYFreakYx]

broken neck for sure :S

[andrew0901280]

i used to own a 99 jeep and i rolled it and if i hadent fallen over twordes the center counsel i would have been fucked thats really what they look like when they roll to.

and i agree with sood4me that is some real chinese BULL SHIT!

[JoeSparro]

he will be fine....just shake it off

[BlakeFox95]

theres no law that says that they have to make the roofs are safe there exact words after that was that they could make the roof out of hay and it would be legal that worries me

[Soob4ME]

You'd think that'd be the strongest point on a Jeep. I hope the new ones aren't that weak. That's Chinese bull shit right there. We're better than that.

[dstersaab05]

I rolled 2 Grand Cherokee they do great..matter fact, i rolled one 4 times in a row...and i walked away!

[knockoutmaniac]

Fake

[JWY]

I drive the 2006 Liberty - I guess I need to keep the rubber side down.

[JWY]

My 1969 VW Beetle rolled over (twice) at speed and the roof stayed out of the driver area. What's with this modern Jeep's roof collapsing? Some engineers need to have their heads examined.

[Memphis35]

people who buy these suvs thinking they are safe also need their head examined....

[davetista]

My Subaru Forester withstood a rollover last Tuesday without caving in even a bit. All I had were my hands lightly cut up from the breaking glass.

[Memphis35]

learn how to drive

[eltoro13]

im gonna get a 2002, at which speed is okay to take a curve in a GC?

[dman090951]

I drive a Jeep too, and it's a little nerve wrecking now to think about rolling it over. Statistically the roof is the weakest part of pretty much any vehicle, and honestly the only car maker taking roof strength seriously is Volvo. You should look at the video of this same test on the XC90 and compare it to this vehicle or even others like the Honda Ridgeline or Ford Explorer. You can see such reduction in roof deformation when an auto-maker takes the time do design a decent roll cage.

[FUCK202]

ouch, better hope i dont roll mine lol

[oisiaa]

Interesting editing.

[tjleo209s014]

HOLY @#$&!

[joman66]

This test was the worst of them all that has been taken.

[crazyaccents34]

omg.... Im gonna be driving a 2003....... I'm kinda freaked out....

[rohleks]

thats your neck ......GONE!

[TapTapTido]

Jeases Crist!

[Volvodriver4life]

Paralized for life

[EldarVag]

Ouch.
