2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Moose Test. (Massive FAILURE)
Remember that earlier video where the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee almost failed the moose test? The video where it was on two wheels and almost ready to fall over? Well, this is a follow up video where they tested it again and gave it to the Jeep engineers to help fix the problem. The thing is, even after they changed some technical settings, it still sucked monkey balls.
Now, you could argue that because it is an offroad vehicle it is more prone to tip over, but c'mon, if all modern cars are capable of not tipping over the Jeep should stay steady on its feet too.
Hope they fix it because it looks alright.

The car was tested in the same way as thousands of other cars have been tested by Teknikens Värld over the years. Loaded (driver, passenger and anchored sandbags with a low center of gravity in the boot) in accordance to Jeep's specifications for maximum payload, the factory installed original tires filled with the amount of air pressure as specified by Jeep (also confirmed by Jeep/Chrysler) and all safety systems such as electronic stability control and anti-rollover system turned on. Jeep Grand Cherokee has air suspension and we put this in Auto mode, a setting that most Grand Cherokee owners use when they drive their car.
Everything was therefore completely by the book, just like an ordinary car owner would do, although the performance was very poor. Over and over again with three different Jeep Grand Cherokee - which you can see in the new film here.
Our recommendation is: Do not buy the Jeep Grand Cherokee until Jeep/Chrysler solved the problems.

*uck everything about this.
It's because of these stupid rules that we now only have pansy-arse soccer-mom vans as excuses for offroad trucks.
You drive a 4x4, have a brain and know its limits. Simple enough.
What's next "hey guys, your car falls from the ceiling when we do a tunnel evasive manoeuver, fix that".

Have you been inside one of the new Grand Cherokees? The Interiors are really, really nice. I'm not joking either, I really want one.
