Test details:

The Jeep Liberty was redesigned for the 2008 model year. The Dodge Nitro was introduced in the 2007 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the frontal airbag, its head contacted the side curtain airbag, which had deployed during the crash.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left knee and tibia indicate that injuries to the knee and lower leg would be possible.

There is something wrong with your mom's van if that is the case, my family has had plenty of those vans, with 3.8 and 3.3's and they usually get somewhere between 22-26 on the hwy. I'm talking from years 93ish to 2006ish.

Take the thing to a mechanic and then keep it off the floor taking off and it will do better.
