This Jeep Grand Cherokee was not on its side, but this, of course, not looks very safe. The Swedish Teknikens Värld describes that the Grand Cherokee is even life threatening. And to think that this car is already equipped with such things as stability control.

The car we see here is tested at a speed of 63.5 km / h and that is exactly in line with a speed of around 65 km / h which is always held in this test. A Volvo XC90 and Volkswagen Touareg were also tested as usual with 4 wheels on the ground.

The most bizarre thing is that any comments was given to the Swedish car magazine by Jeep: despite nearly two weeks of communication, Jeep has not provided any information or explanation for the lethal behavior of the Grand Cherokee.

The car tested here is a Grand Cherokee Overland model, which implies that there are 20-inch wheels are mounted. Can be the same problem with a Cherokee equipped with 18 inch wheels? Every Jeep Grand Cherokee is also well equipped with an ESC system that they call:
Electronic stability control. The system is operated via a two-stage activation switch and is equipped with sensors for wheel speed, vehicle speed, steering angle, lateral acceleration and course deviation; is also integrated with other security functions.

Teknikens Värld is incidentally the same magazine that in 1997 subjected to a moose test the Mercedes A-Class.
