I was in a similar crash last month in a 2010 odyssey, about a 25% overlap I was going 45 the oncoming driver jumped a median going about 55. Whole family in the car, while there were injuries, we all did walk away and no broken bones or surgeries needed. Didn't even look at anything other than the odyssey as a replacement. Got a 2016 this time around :)
Thanks CarAngel for the heads up. My wife and I used to have a Chrysler minivan That thing rode like a Cadillac. I had been thinking about trading in our old Camry for a nice Chrysler Town & Country. Not now
The Transport did way worse, in the Quest your head, neck and chest would be protected by the airbags but you'd be in a wheelchair for life. In the Transport/Montana the neck was snapped by the steering column being violently, the left foot was snapped off by the ankle. A similar fate would be likely in the 2001 Ford F-150, 1996 Toyota Previa, 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, 1995 Nissan Maxima where all body regions except for the chest would be injured.
I do, I bought a honda Odyssey and after my family getting hit from the rear at over 45 mph and no one got hurt except the other cars driver I will buy another if they still make them this good
Now I know why my parents got rid if there Chrysler a couple days after buying it. They told us kids that it's not what they thought it was, but they obviously saw this video and didn't like how severe the accident was. Edit: They didn't watch this video, they just didn't want a minivan.
Was at sick kids today and a Nissan minivan had crashed into a bus with 6 kids in it. It was a war one. After watching this I'm praying hard but the driver probably didn't make it. Damn you Nissan!
The crazy part about this is the fact that 25 years ago some cars performed like that on just the regular offset test. I’m sure every van in this video does well on the regular offset now. It’s crazy to think how far cars have come in 25 years.
Every minivan on here (despite these results of the small overlap test) passed the moderate overlap test, unlike their predecessor generation models back in the mid-late 90s, which is crazy. It does prove how much cars gotten significantly safer in the last 25+ years cause of these tests. Back then, car companies always criticized IIHS for these tests, not knowing that they are actually trying to make their vehicles safer for newer generations. I feel like vehicles getting poor rating is not entirely a bad thing, cause it will give a manufacturer an insight what to do for the next generation and to help protect people’s lives, which was the purpose of IIHS.
who needs airbags.... we die like real man.. Fast in a FIrestorm! BTW...most crashes that kill people does not matter which car they were in... when you hit a tree with 100km/h you will most certainly die
2:20 I'm concerned for my father's safety. He drives a 2015 grand caravan, and he works from 3:00 am to noon. He tends to get really tired, and since where he works is an hour away, he takes the freeway. Knowing how bad the damage was in a small overlap was horrifying at just 40mph. Imagine this happening at 75 mph. It's likely he would loose a leg or be in a coma after that crash, if he even survives a caravan or town and country crashing into a concrete barrier at 75mph. Fatigue from working dead early only makes him even more likely to crash, Combined with the fact that most wrong way crashes happen between midnight and 5 am, and the fact that having more than 17 hours without sleep is like driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.5, and it's a recipe for tragedy. The saddest part is, if he does fall asleep and die in a crash, the whole disaster would have been recorded on a dashcam
It would still fail. The design of all minivans is inheritly inferior to all other vehicles. They should have never been allowed on roads. But I guess they culls the herds of the hideously obese, rude, hateful, women. They seem to gravitate towards these rolling meat processors. Work used to use them a lot until one year when what appeared to have been minor crashes killed two workers on two different accidents. All minivans in the fleet were taken out of service and auctioned at the end of the year. I guess work figured this out before many others did.
In researching minivans for my wife I came across this video. It's quite shocking to think of your family in some of these unsafe vans. Looks like it's Honda for us all the others did poorly. I would never ride in a Nissan or Chrysler, just plain scary.
FUN FACT! (i know i'm responding like 6-7 years later) -a 2012 Honda Odyssey was put in this same test. Same speed and barrier and everything. It had this slate-ish colour. In the test, the Odyssey looked to be worse than the Quest; the dummy slid off the airbag and hit the dashboard directly (in the Quest this didn't happen, dummy kinematics in the Nissan were Good.) -I compared the 2 side by side, and the intrusion of the Odyssey looked to be equivalent to the Quest (if not more). Same situation too; dummy's legs were trapped. -it's private tho, I don't know why they hid this test. You can search this test on RUclips
the quest is a great van in every other way, this may not be the best but still, In my crash it stayed completely together and nobody had to be pried out of there seat! I love the van. 10/10 would buy again!
I believe it's "Ave Maria". fitting for a Car Angel, no. Seems I used to listen to this on Sunday morning radio in the early 60's. Very soothing to go with the cars. My ex- still drives a Honda. Chrysler? Fuggedaboutit.
I can't choose between a Toyota or a Honda. My mom says Toyota because she had it for her first car. My dad says Honda because it's cheaper. I'll just take both for a test drive and see what happens.
Overall your analysis is correct. I believe you could add some further observations such as the timing of the airbag deployment. Some seem to take too long to inflate correctly. Also of more significant importance to the driver is whether the steering column moved to the side allowing the drivers head to slide off the airbag and heavily contact the dashboard and other hardware. As this test was done at a reasonable speed, the damage incurred to both vehicle and passengers at higher highway speed would be far more severe! Very telling are the effects to vehicles crashing at highway speeds as seen in the shocking Russian car crash videos. Some are simply mind numbing.
Next year it will be the semi-small overlap upsidedown rear passenger side structure test that will kill all occupants. Lesson? Put your phone down and don't smash into stuff... offset or directly!!
I've been looking at Nissan Quest's for a couple hours today. (Used, of course, as they're no longer made.) "Hmm, I wonder why they're consistently 15-20% cheaper than their competitors?" Now I know why. My thanks to @YourCarAngel ... subbing!
I'm not YourCarAngel but looking at the IIHS page for the 2017 Pacifica shows that it's a Top Safety Pick+ with good ratings and superior front crash protection when you get the Advance Safety Tec optional package with the car. The only slight negative is the difficulty in setting up the LATCH system if you have children who need car seats/booster seats to ride safely. Overall it's one of the safest if not the safest minivan on the market minus the difficulty of using the LATCH system.
All of the manufactures failed this test before they update their cars in the next model year to pass it. The EU even complained about the small overlap test. I think only Volvo passed so don't fell bad. No cars before 2017 models did well. BUT remember when we were wee lads riding around with NO ABS, airbags and cars that would not be legal now a days.
Nissan Quest .... they just don't make them like they used to. (In fact, they don't anymore). My 98 Villager was a dream of a vehicle ... lasted so long for so many years while going through more than 5 accidents
I think the nissan quest is just going was trying to go for only style. They just forgot about the safety of the drivers and car. They failed on looks and safety. I don't know how people bought this car thinking that it was safe. My mom owns the toyota sienna and looms pretty good in crash testing. I think I know why the a pillar collapsed a little bit. It is because the hood is very short and the shock has less time to travel to get to the A pillar. If the hood was longer, then the A pillar might have not been affected. This is just my thoughts
honda is stronk, thats why i told my mom she made a right choice by buying the 2009 honda accord she has right now, she lost her front bumper one time but then got it fixed
toyota is unsafe with the 2012 camry too, instead of the airbag staying aligned the airbag spins to the side causing the drivers risk in danger, my aunt has a 2012 toyota camry so im kinda worried

Seems obvious but how come an air bag hasn't been installed on that corner between the dash and the A pillar? Almost every driver's head on the offset test ends up going right through that gap.
TrollBuster U want that momentum I guess. If an airbag was inbetween it could break your neck or give u concussion. It's good for the force to move through your body once instead of bouncing from an airbag and have it go back into u again. Idk really just a guess
The goal of a well designed steering wheel airbag is that it holds the head from sliding around, take note on Toyota and Honda steering wheel airbags and how they manage to hold the head in place. A badly designed airbag, such as Nissan's or Chrysler's will allow the head to slide off and hit the protruding a pillar and other metal.
Am I the only one who finds the lack of federally mandated rear head restraints (headrests) in a crash test objectionable? Headrests interact with the head in a forward crash and can either cushion the rearwatd recoil or resist and break the neck depending upon the exact design, adjustment and head mass. If mandated cabin conditions are not going to be observed, the IIHS results tests are invalid for determining crashworthiness.
That one was a complete disaster. It fared worse than the Quest (dummy’s head slid off the airbag (didn’t happen in the Quest), similar intrusion, same consequence). It would’ve been the worst performer had IIHS not told Honda beforehand.
To be fair, the town and country and Nissan quest were shit structurally, so they were naturally retired soon after. The Sedona, and now Pacifica, in addition to the Odyssey and Sienna all do pretty well now.
It would be 80 mph against a stationary vehicle, or both cars at 40 mph head-on. Two cars means two crumple zones, while the crash test is against a non-deformable barrier.
i'm sure that's because the 2005 was a moderate overlap, and the 2015 was a small overlap. any car before 2010 would be demolished in the small overlap
Sorry for saying this but the music for this video is very unfitting. Would've been better if you used that piano music instead of sad violin music. Anyways the Nissan Quest was pretty weird.
The music is so soothing as these cars gracefully get destroyed

Have you seen the 2012 odyssey? It performed horribly in the test.
That’s what IIHS doesn’t tell you; they give other manufacturers head starts in their tests.

To be fair, the town and country and Nissan quest were shit structurally, so they were naturally retired soon after. The Sedona, and now Pacifica, in addition to the Odyssey and Sienna all do pretty well now.
WOW. I will never ride in a Nissan Quest. Probably not a Chrysler Town and Country either. Wow.
You’d say the same for the older Quest and Leganza
My grandad has a quest...but it’s one of the old ones....
Even though it's a mere 40mph, this is a static barrier, in real life it's like driving 80mph to another moving vehicle
It would be 80 mph against a stationary vehicle, or both cars at 40 mph head-on.
Two cars means two crumple zones, while the crash test is against a non-deformable barrier.
You guys! What's with the Ave Maria. I'd much rather have a voice over explaining how these crash tests work than some soupy music. Get with it!
Allan Stokell stop being rude to them ya lil brat I agree with those girls
Allan Stokell The Ave Maria is the most APT tune were you to drive the Nissan Quest and get in a crash like that...............
99 percent of all minivans have some giant booster seat inside
Wow I didn’t know that the 2014 Chrysler town and country is that unsafe to drive.
Even the 96 model which was first tested in he offset test didn’t do very well.
It’s almost as if Americans cars are crap.
R.I.P. Nissan Quest.
Damn that wall didn't move a mm
The 2005 Chrysler Town and Country would eat the 2015 Chrysler Town and Country for lunch.
The 2005 is WAY WAY stronger
i'm sure that's because the 2005 was a moderate overlap, and the 2015 was a small overlap. any car before 2010 would be demolished in the small overlap
I would not be caught dead in a, minivan. Um, oops, I guess I would be caught dead in a minivan afterall.
I take the sienna
Holly Counterman take the Mercedes Benz 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
New video every week. Boi
It failed as well, but if you want to be a vegetable by all means..
Finally, something worse than Chrysler!
Not in reliability 🤣
@@themobkiller6799 lol
I own a 2006 town and country and I’ve seen crash test for the 2006 and their rated 5 stars but that 2014 what the hell chrystler
I guess I'll have to save up and buy a Volvo for my fam
The music make me sad for the dummies..R.I.P😂😭😭😭😭
Odyssey always the best
Town and country driver probably lost his legs
2:18 Chrysler Minivan has No video
Good
Sorry for saying this but the music for this video is very unfitting. Would've been better if you used that piano music instead of sad violin music. Anyways the Nissan Quest was pretty weird.
