Crash Test 1999 - 2003 Dodge Durango (Front Impact) IIHS

[rodatv]

wait you mean my durango isnt indestructible?? wtff

[Tunerdude94]

The only reason I looked this video up is because my mom was boasting about how much safer her stupid SUV was compared to a smaller car. SUVs are dangerous too Mom. In fact cars in general are dangerous.

[UBConquered]

as much as i love this suv, it should recieve a fucking poor for what it did to my uncles leg

[jwmckin08]

I wouldn't have given it anything higher than a Marginal. The dummy's feet are severely damaged and it's head hit the door way after it hit the air bag. I definitely wouldn't have given it an Acceptable.

[UBConquered]

@jwmckin08 My uncle (had one), until someone hit him head on in November of 2007. It twisted his ankle, shattered his tibia, fractured his femur, and i forget what it did to his knee but he also needed surgery on it. It wasn't an offset crash though it still messed him up pretty badly, he couldn't walk for just about a whole year.

[TheLevitawilliams]

I hope they upgraded the strength of that car before the put them out to sale 0_o

[nbpt72]

@warzdune yeah iam seeing that every single piece of that car was completely compressed and they had to use the jaws of life to get me out.. im pretty sure a rollover is worst then a head on crash

[lupe9959]

safari bar!!! anyone? lol

[nbpt72]

@warzdune i think a roll over is worst then a frontal crash...

[davidomarine71]

My wife was 3 months pregnant at the time she got in an accident in our 02 Durango. She hit a slick spot on an on ramp, the vehicle did a 360 and slammed into the guard rail of the bridge head on. It had just rained for the first time in 2 months. The air bag deployed. My 3 year old daughter was in the middle seat in her booster. They were both where shaken up but OK. The fire fighter that was there to help them said that if they were in anything smaller there would have been injury.

[DizzyMan24]

Damn, the crash test isn't too good, i'd still own one though. I love the look of them. All though, i think it would have been different if they tested it against a car.

[jwmckin08]

acceptable rating? looks more like a marginal rating to me. how is a broken leg or foot acceptable? how is not hitting the air bag in the right place acceptable?

[nbpt72]

this is a lie. i rolled my 2003 dodge durango about 8 times my car was totalled and i only walked away with just a big cut on my arm.. this car saved my life.. and i will always have a durango. so i dont care what statistics say.

[jesse1444]

@nbpt72 you got lucky and i bet your speed was low, they are ment for speed not to save lives,

[BullyScholarshipWii]

@nbpt72

yeah I got in an accident with my durango and I didn't get a scratch. These things are built like tanks.

[warzdune]

@nbpt72 You're comparing a frontal crash to a roll over? Very smart genius, you just keep on driving those cars. Darwins law. Thank you Darwin...

[1josechivas]

When it comes to your time of leaving this world it just comes. And when its not your turn its just not. Seen cars slightly hit and people still die seen cars split in half and nothing happens not even scratches.

[RoundenBrown]

That's acceptable? I'd hate to see what unacceptable is.

[Monkeypumper420]

@RoundenBrown, exactly my thoughts.... to the letter.

[warzdune]

@RoundenBrown Go look at 97 Ford F150 and you'll know.

[DJEddieXZ]

Thank god my dad got rid of this and got a Armada

[gonotitis]

Ok i have a Durango, i hope i dont have a accident.... shit

[coltonwithano]

my sister just rolled her 02 durango, rolled twice and then went into the creek and rolled again on its way down.

[Jsoto1115]

My friend was driving one of these and hydroplaned and flipped over the entire roof caved in but he was perfectly fine with a scratch on his leg from when his broken ipod screen cut him. We dont know how he was fine.

[crazygrk781]

i had a 01 durango n i hit some one who raninfront me goin 60 swerved still hit her on fender the nkept goin like 30 35mph n raninto ditch hittin pole at same time and only broke femur n cracked few ribs,,,,, fuckin old ladys shuld stop at stop signs...

[UnitedPoliceSupport]

I had a 03 Durango, the wife wrecked it several times in minor accidents and no matter how much work was done on it, it never drove right again, finally for her 3rd accident she rear-ended a bus and destroyed it, walked away with minor back pains and my desire to ever buy her another vehicle. It was a great vehicle, seeing this though makes me glad she made it through with minor injuries.

[Bladesting]

wow seriously does chrysler dodge or jeep know how to make a safe car back then almost all of there cars and trucks were death traps lol

[KillanatorVids]

Wow, this is one of the really ugly SUV's out there ;P

[PrinceKilborne]

@KillanatorVids GRAMMAR FAIL! and the Durango is the Best Suv out there, and the Top Selling Suv out there.

[stonee206]

@PrinceKilborne LOL, Might be nice for you Americans... That is an isult, just so you know...

[PrinceKilborne]

@stonee206 1. You are a fucking retard. 2. all your dumbass lil pussy suv's are just boxed vans with lil wind up engines 3. stfu

[1NSAN3one]

why do american cars allways suck so bad when crashed?

[reptile411]

I dont get it. Who did dodge pay off to pass this test They said it DID not happen the way it was suppose to so it should have failed.

[Motorfordtoyota]

Wow, this isnt very good. Tipical late 90s early 2000's Chrysler. But My friends mom just bought one and has intintions of giving it to him next year when he gets his liscens. Im going to warn him to avoid an accident at all costs.

[818arthur]

wow 40mph, thats it, i wonder what will happen to you at 65mph on a freeway,my 2000 4x4 dodge durango is actually in the body shop getting some engine tunes and a new paint job, but i think i rather sell it afther watching this.

[ryfin2000]

@818arthur Or you know, drive carefully, like you should be doing anyways...

[pedalsnkeys1313]

"Acceptable"????? that's terrible! Our civic is safer than that!

[MrLENOXst]

im dead :'/

[PaganiZ0ndaF]

AMERICAN CARS ARE SHIT

[osp80]

@PaganiZ0ndaF greek cars are....wait,greece too fucking broke to make cars

[PaganiZ0ndaF]

@osp80 there were a lot of greek people (and they still are) that made great cars

a good example from the past is the MINI..it was designed and engineered by ALEXANDER ISIGONIS and it is one of the most iconic cars ever made...and revolutionary as well. A good example of today is Yassou 1&2...a badass allroad car... google it..even the US Army is thinking to get it

there are a lot of greeks involved in the car industry,,,i personally know some in prodrive, ferrari, alfa, etc... plz shut up

[xTRAXXASx]

@PaganiZ0ndaF look at the dodge nitro crash test you could walk away you fag but i hope you dont

[PaganiZ0ndaF]

@xTRAXXASx .what? what are you trying to say? is that a good example?..

a car doesnt have to be large in size to protect the passengers as you might think...idiot

[HiJackZX1]

OMG, Thats scary, I drive a 2003 Durango and Im usually hitting 80mph in it.

[swauss]

I have a new name for those durangos DURCRAPO"S

[drz400e332]

The fact that something that can be described as a death trap when in a wreck gets an acceptable test rating says a lot...

[CherokeeRoseGA]

Wow.

On Oct. 16 my brother and I were in an accident in a Durango. The crash test is pretty correct. I broke my femur and fibula. I had an enormous gash in that leg, and was losing a lot of blood. I also tore up my left foot like the video implies. I broke three metatarsals and tore all the extensor tendons. In addition, I was slumped over to the side after the impact, and did not hit the airbag correctly. For a while I had no pulse or respiration. But God is good, and I am still here!!

[firedemon101]

well glad to hear you are alive....but how is your recovery going ?

[TruAgape123]

I'm glad you're here too buddy! Sorry to hear about your injuries.

[mrwilliwizard]

maybe you should of used the brake pedal...

[Athaeus]

Actually the medics were good.

[darkstarskater48]

@CherokeeRoseGA srry to hear that hope your okay

[prodigywashere]

@CherokeeRoseGA how fast were you going?

[crazygrk781]

@CherokeeRoseGA yea i was goin 60 n lady ran infront me n i hit her full force 60 then hit pole goin about 35..only injury was broken femur n few cracked ribs..mine was oct 31 last year almsot 1 year...how fast were u goin....

[LoveTheCity123]

@CherokeeRoseGA Religion is irrelevant to auto safety. God has nothing to do with it. You are alive because you are alive. That is like saying your " God " would protect you if you ran out in a interstate and was hit by a semi-truck. It's just so funny because majority of old and unsafe cars like these have a higher fatality rate than any new Mercedes-Benz or Volvo. I guess their " God " doesn't protect those driving unsafe cars.

[billyboi57]

@LoveTheCity123 What you are stating about God is an opinion, not fact. Your kind says we cannot prove the existence of God. You cannot disprove it either. And to state as a personal experience, my first car was a heavy old 1969 Chrysler Newport that after approximately 3 months was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, combined vehicle speeds of 100+ mph. and only minor injuries. Putz.

[peanutchopper]

@CherokeeRoseGA Glad you're alive also. How did the accident occur?

[296jayce]

@CherokeeRoseGA wow, god bless you my friend, now you see y dodge is always fallin back behind chevy and ford, is there any problems still or are you completley fine?

[mikodelick]

@CherokeeRoseGA yes he is

[GreatCarIdeas]

i think i threw up my porkchops

[tc41986]

i would have thought due to that injury that it would have recieved a marginal rating...

[frumpytuin]

the Gen3 seatbelt also popped out in that SUV. I'm not kidding

[020220222]

think about it dumb ass

[tozir14]

damn, i drive a 2003

[toyotas2006]

That'll leave a mark!

[KonigNick]

wow that is really bad

[BentlyboYY]

i had a 2000 dodge durango well my parents did we got it brand new in 2000 then it gave problems we sold it in 2003

[HummerH2K2]

There goes my confidence that I'm safe just because I drive this big thing... great

[tml14099]

damn im fucked

[CSmith4545]

yup. me too. lol

[funkeyman404]

Hey I have a durango just like that!

[xXLAYnFRAMEXx]

well im fucked

[apappaz]

piece of shit - poor american engineering

[elzibra9]

shet i have one

[adam22oflasvegas]

poor

[hgfrjkgfjjj]

poor.

If you look at the door and the roff all smashed

[nwvfd22]

In a crash, NOTHING will work like it's supposed to in real world conditions. Even if the door is smashed, it makes it easier for us firemen to pop the door open and get the driver out.

[funkeyman404]

And you hit your head on it!!!!!!

[hgfrjkgfjjj]

HAHAHA  FUNNY MAN!!!! XD

Not!

[porschefan102]

I know a friend who was killed in one of these. he pulled out of a parking lot when 2 street racers hit his driver side.

Moral of story: RACE ON THE TRACK, NOT THE STREET!

[mlps93]

what do ya expect is U.S. made?

[blackdubsociety]

ask princess Dian about her German made.

[327am]

i dont care about safety im still racin my durango

[voicebreaker1]
