 It's disappointing that so many minivan seats are rated poor for rear impact protection. Drivers of minivans spend a lot of time on urban and suburban roads where rear-end collisions are common in stop-and-go traffic. Moms often are behind the wheel, and women are more vulnerable to whiplash injuries so they especially need good seats and head restraints. |
| It's encouraging that only 12 of the 58 seat/head restraint combinations we evaluated didn't make it to the testing stage because of marginal or poor geometry. The auto manufacturers have been working to improve this aspect of head restraint design. |
| It's now rare for a vehicle to earn a rating of anything less than good in the frontal offset crash test. |
| Its bumpers fail to do what bumpers are supposed to do, which is to minimize damage in minor impacts. In fact, these bumpers are just expensive decorative trim. |
| Look at the crash test ratings and go for a car that is rated 'good,' rather the one rated 'poor.' |
| Manufacturer advertising often emphasizes the rugged image of SUVs and pickups. |
| Manufacturer advertising often emphasizes the rugged image of SUVs and pickups. However, the Institute's evaluations show seats and head restraints in many models wouldn't do a good job of protecting most people in a typical rear impact in everyday commuter traffic. |
| Manufacturers should follow the lead of Honda, Nissan and Toyota in making head-protecting side air bags standard in their minivans. Important safety equipment like this shouldn't be optional, |
| Manufacturers should follow the lead of Honda, Nissan and Toyota in making head-protecting side air bags standard in their minivans. Important safety equipment like this shouldn't be optional. |
| Many of the seat/head restraints we evaluated didn't even get to the testing stage ... These cannot begin to protect most people in rear-end crashes. |
| More manufacturers are requesting tests when they have new designs they expect to perform well. We encourage this because it means the test results will be released earlier, as consumers are beginning to shop for new models. When we do conduct tests early, the automakers provide reimbursement for the cost of the vehicles. |
| Nearly every car now earns good ratings in our frontal test. |
| Nearly every car now earns good ratings in our frontal test. The Fusion is acceptable, which isn't a bad result, but it's not competitive with other cars in its class. Based on this car's side and rear evaluations along with its acceptable frontal rating, the Fusion is the lowest rated moderately priced midsize car we've evaluated. |
| Now almost every vehicle we test offers good protection. |
| Now we will be able to focus more of our attention on our side impact test program and our rear impact test program as well as look at other areas where we can improve occupant protection. |
