As seen in the video below, Teknikens Värld managed to get the Grand Cherokee Overland dangerously close to rolling over during an emergency lane change maneuver. The test was conducted at about 40mph and was intended to simulate the reaction to a large animal, such as a moose, standing in the middle of the roadway.
After catching wind of the video Chrysler sent a team of engineers as well as three identical Grand Cherokee models to Sweden for further testing with Teknikens Värld. The magazine conducted the identical test 11 more times with properly loaded vehicles and was unable to duplicate the results of the earlier test.
Teknikens Värld has yet to comment on the latest test, but it should be noted that the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has received top safety marks from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
