SUV Rollover Dangers
A number of potential safety issues and vehicle defects can contribute to the occurance of SUV rollovers and lead to serious injury or death in the event of a rollover accident.
Potential safety issues include:
- The vehicle is defective in its handling and stability because it is top-heavy and prone to heavy oversteering by drivers, making a rollover accident likely;
- The vehicle is equipped with defective door latches that are too weak to hold the doors shut in a rollover accident, causing passengers to be ejected from these vehicles;
- The roof-strength of the SUV is deficient, resulting in a collapse of the roof in a rollover accident;
- The vehicle is not equipped with laminated safety glass which would help prevent passengers from being ejected in SUV rollovers; and
- The seat belts are defective because they do not automatically retract and tighten during an accident.
