Are SUVs Safe Enough?

For month there has been bad publicity for the Ford Explorer because of spectacular rollovers. Now the US-Association NHTSA has asked DaimlerChrysler to supply information regarding the Grand Cherokee Jeep, built between 1995 and 1999. The NHTSA knows of more than 100 accidents, with injuries and one reported death.
