2019 Jeep Wrangler Scores Only 1 Star In European Safety Rankings

I am ok without either feature. I want to see a any new vehicle do well in front, offset, side and roof crush. Lane keeping and emergency braking are your responsibility as a driver.

I don't use lane keeping feature as it tends to be annoying, but I do like the emergency braking especially the forward collision warning system by Tesla. There may be occasional false alarms such as parked car in the line of sight when driving around a curve, but very helpful in unpredictable stop/start traffic.

THis remains among the largest frauds in Auto test statistics.

To THIS DAY - no one has ever done a study that shows that vehicles that do well in these controlled test crashes - are safer in real life driving. AS a result - Manufacturers have simply built their vehicles to a standard that passes these bogus tests - and FORD was one of the recent ones who added a small Metal Brace up front to get a better crash score.

The problem is - these crashes are under controlled conditions - with controlled acceleration, controlled braking(something YOU are unlikely to do in a crash), and with contact at specified angles to the oncoming vehicle hitting a stationary object - and the testers have admitted that the likelihood that you would get into a crash that would duplicate the ones they test for is near 0%.

So - for example - they reduced this score because the base vehicle does not have autonomous Braking or lane assistance - which in itself means that ALL cars built BEFORE these were available are NOW Road Hazards - that includes most of the vehicles on the road.

And of course - it does not test the vehicle for what it actually is.

So, a car is deemed unworthy because it doesn't babysit bad drivers?

Any excuse for this one ?

"Jeep’s all-new Wrangler didn’t do so well in the Adult Occupant, Child Occupant and Pedestrian categories either, where it scored 50 percent, 69 percent and 49 percent, respectively."

whereas

“The I-Pace, especially, demonstrates that future vehicles will be good for the environment, but also provide high levels of safety.”

FCA should just throw in towel.

Pay premium dollars for a dangerous deathmobile Wrangler.

So typical European snobbery toward American cars.

Thanks, this is the perfect reason why I have to get a 3” lift, steel bumpers, rock sliders, and bigger tires!

Jeep continues to sell substandard products and some could care less.
