I love how back then pretty much all the car companies were kicking and screaming in response to these tests, but nowadays they've done a complete 180 like "we take pride in how safe our cars are! :) "
It's actually crazy how accurate these tests are. When I was very little my mom had a 99 4RUNNER just like that and offset crashed it into a tree going around that speed. We lived but she had broken ankles.
i guess it's better then being a vegetable correct? This is why you have the seat as far back as possible more space to move in a crash
@@punker4Real you could get thrown to the front without seatbelt.
The driver or the front passanger could get crushed by the back passanger.
@@williammoore5459not if the back passengers are wearing seatbelts
@@punker4Realthats how you crash.
The Isuzu lived on to do terribly in crash tests later as the Landwind.
davek12 That brand got sued for pretty much being an entire rip off of Land Rover not that they suck any further
I love what's considered "not bad" back then is now considered horribly unsafe.
Fancy seeing you here. These are my favorite videos :)
+Bad Drivers of Central Arkansas I love these videos! It's so interesting to see how car safety has changed in just the past few years!
I know right. I almost wish I was a 90s kid .... then I could have witnessed the change for myself .... lol 90s cars were the best. Maybe not in safety, but they were much better than a lot of the crap being sold nowadays.
I'm not so sure. Of course there will always be lemons but the 90s/early-2000s cars we had were trash. My dad had a 90s Oldsmobile Delta 88 and it didn't last more than 10 years. We had a 2000 Dodge Grand caravan that only lasted 6 years.
The 2007 Toyota Camry and Jeep Liberty we have are both running strong (knock on wood.)
The 2015 Focus and 2016 CR-V we just got haven't given us any problems yet. (Also knock on wood!!!)
Bad Drivers of Albuquerque
I've had completely different experiences. I was born and brought up in my parents' 1999 Nissan Maxima and 1998 Mercury Villager, both of which were bought brand new off the lot in their respective years. The Maxima ran like a charm for a good fourteen years until it was totaled in 2013. Our Mercury Villager, however, is still running despite it having 250K miles on it. Nissan may not be the automotive king right now, but they surely were in the 90s based on my perspectives.
The automobile industry has barely changed. IIHS recently took several vehicles they know get good ratings in a small front overlap. And repeated the test only now on the passenger side, guess what. Many of them got really poor results. Because the cars were in several cases only improved structurally on the drivers side. Where the test is usually done.
Now that you say it, I saw a Dashcam crash where the guy was doing like 15-20 mph and someone pushed him off the road, the pole he struck even reached the Passenger Compartment, but the driver was unharmed.
Now with rear seat testing
A simultaneously awesome and noble job to work at that place.
I'd love to work there.
+Episode101 so true! How about telling your friends "I get to crash cars for a living!"
+MsxArty but you spend 4-5 days studying the results
I would do a test on my personal Range Rover if I worked there.
@@bandombeviews6035 and what's the problem with that? 😂
I love how automakers blame the iihs...
"The problem is that they keep putting a damn barrier in the way!"
@@AxlBrickman 😂
@@AxlBrickman lolllllll
Ikr. We love Gas engines, not gaslighting.
But now automakers brag about the IIHS top safety rating.
The worst accident I was ever in was in a ford explorer just like the one in the video and it happened just like in the video only at 45 mph and the impact was on the passenger side where I was sitting. A mercury mountaineer (basically a ford explorer of similar vintage as our explorer) pulled out in front of us in an intersection. The damage was just the same as in this video. I was shaken up a bit but unharmed. The manufacturers claims these tests were unreal is ridiculous. It's more unrealistic to hit an object straight on and they knew it.
Government Tests: That’s a lot of damage.
IHHS: HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MORE!
Wuts IHHS? Do yu mean IIHS
Car manufacturers would like a 5 mph test
the test is not too fast! You normally drive 40 miles per hour on any road!
I believe it's to compensate for the fact that you would hopefully brake before an accident where you were traveling faster than 40. And then anything below that would obviously be even safer than the 40 MPH test.
lukelarso12 I know
lukelarso12 60 mph
lukelarso12 or 100kmh where I live in canada
zzxxcrafter02xx a least I know about car unlike you
Thanks for posting this. I've gotten to see my '98 Explorer crash test.
The explorer performs and looks better than the first 2 models
So scary!
If you have a 1995-2001 explorer you are good
I was a little relieved! By all means ignore the tire pressure sticker on the door, though. But my bro has the Blazer. Yikes.
Only if the door didn't open the explorer would have gotten a perfect rating of good wit no injuries at all...
At least Ford showed their own crash test movie as part of their response. GM says they have safe cars but don't provide even pictures or written results.
GM had the audacity to gaslight us.
I have to wonder how the 1999 Tahoe/Suburban (the vehicles my family used to drive) would have done in the offset test. I have a feeling that it would have performed well, considering the fact that my mom and I were absolutely physically uninjured after the Tahoe we were traveling in made contact with a tree after sliding on black ice. Thankfully, General Motors has since decided to make cars safer with the IIHS tests in mind, considering the fact that not only do their cars perform better but that the Institute has upped the ante with their tests.
Just when I forgot how much I used to hate GM...
Same
@@originalpadoru I no a fence like Gm

Why doesn't Dateline still do these tests? We still need them in 2019
Dateline may not do the segments, but the tests are still occurring. Just follow the IIHS channel.
Bro they don’t do the tests tf are you on about
@@KufLMAO Dude really? Go find yourself something to do
@@terrenceh.3139 nice deflection, terry
Unfortunately Dateline's IIHS segments ended after Lea Thompson left NBC. I would love to see news coverage of the IIHS tests after they upped the ante, however.
Breaks the legs, still alive though! Also, 40mph into something that doesn't move - That is a heavy crash. Cars, walls and barriers all yield and crumple atleast a little. This is like hitting a tree, when you swerve to avoid a dear, it's harrowing to see, I still feel safe in my Ford. This was very interesting to watch.
The deformable foam barrier is made to simulate the crumple zone of an opposing car.
good thing I have a 1997 4 runner rather than the other SUVs
That was the SUV with a horrific side impact rating (only two layers of sheet metal between you and the other car) and 1 star front-impact rating on the drivers side?
Fekillix That was the gen 1 & 2 4-runner (pre 1996)
@@EpixGamer101 Ha,ha. Caught him cherry picking.
Just because you had a crash that you walked away from does not mean Toyota is above everyone in safety. You can have a crash in the least safe car in the world, and walk away without injury. The market leaders in safety right now are: Volvo, Ford and Subaru.
2:00 Subaru cares, look at every revamp. the forester is one of the safest SUVs.
+Shishizurui Isuzu Rodeo/Honda Passport was built in Subaru factory in Indiana, fyi. Same people that build Subarus, built those Isuzus. Whats the difference? Subaru used High strength steel in the 90s. Isuzu used regular strength steel. In 2000 Subaru switched to Ultra High Strength steel in select sections of the body. Isuzu, went out of business.
+legioner9 and speed
This is 1996 the Forester's first test from the IIHS was in 1999.
@@Y10Q Isuzu is still in asian markets and they do very well on ASEAN NCAP crash tests, including this test.

Very well like you may get to live as a paraplegic on a ventilator?
She keeps calling them "four wheel drives", even though most (except only perhaps the Land Rover) are available as two wheel drives.
Wrangler wasn't at the time.
John Roberts your point?
I love my 1998 explorer
Said nobody ever...
I love my explorers ive owned over 50!
My dad loved his 99 Explorer
1995 Explorer Limited owner here. It may be rusty and beat up, but it gets me from point A to point B. I’ve had that truck since the day I got my license.
@@rileysmith9843 Beware of rust. IN the frame it will kill you in a crash!
Good thing I got my Benz customized with reinforced steel roll cage to prepare it for an accident. It's already safe when I bought it, but now it's much safer like a race car for it can survive a 100kmph collision. I haven't tested it, but I know it will. Even my legroom is protected with steel bars. It's like a beast on the road.
That will hurt the people in the other car And it's pretty ricey
Johnie Clever that still doesnt guarantee your safety theres more to a car crash then just a stiff passenger cell and crumple zones
oml HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA
You won't have good chances. :) The G-Force is too high over 90kmph
Used to own a blazer... After seeing this, I've since gotten rid of it... mainly because it needed too much work but this can be another reason
The Isuzu reminds me on my Honda pilot when it got hit by VW Touareg.
That awkward moment when my favorite Jeep Grand Cherokee generation is 1993-1998 in terms of design...but it's very unsafe...
I graduated high school in 2002, and a lot of kids had ZJ Grand Cherokees passed down from their parents, who I'm sure assumed they were safe vehicles. No one that I know of was seriously hurt or killed in one, thankfully.
Jeeps did pretty good, for 80s and 90s SUVs.
And still do good today. Us jeep people usually lift them and put on steel bumpers, which usually helps alot.
Cars improved more since 2000 than they had between 1950-2000. We have ew technologies to thank for that. Back then, unless you were meticulous over your car’s maintenance, the average car got roughly 100,000 miles on an engine. Now it’s 250,000. And accidents that caused serious injury and/or death we can walk away from. But one thing still remains the same...get past the design threshold of your car’s crash protection design and its still serious injury and/or death.
I'd say I'd be okay with the driver seat of the LR Discovery, but the automakers need to focus their safety on the driver *AND* the passengers.

there's too new and too big.
@@TopherParkerCars The Pathfinder and the Montero should've been there.
In 1998 The blazer had redesigned airbag system and new seats. And both the driver and front passenger got 4 stars in nhtsa's full frontal test.
This is when news was news instead of a circus like today's news
0:08 I do love the intro music sounds very 80s and 90s
There are no more Dateline videos I can find. They are all from testdrivejunkie.
Dateline set looks like a set from Star Trek Voyager
I miss my grandads old discoveries, but seems the ford kuga is our vehicle of choice now
Wow my 2000 4Runner is in here, cool!
I spent the first 4 years of my life being driven around in a Land Rover Discovery just like that one. Thanks for not buying a Chevy Blazer dad :)
Does anyone have a way to see the letters the manufacturer sent? I want to see them.
The old 4-wheel drive Ford Explorer was way better than the new one. I with they still made them.
Hmmmm OK.
Plenty of them still on the road in 2023.
proud owner of a 97 4runner, 178,000 miles, still super strong love it
280,000 for mine
its a great car
How come there aren't any crash tests of the 1993-1997 Landcruisers? I'm very curious to know how one does in a test. We've got a 1996 Landcruiser - arguably one of the best Toyotas ever made.
+HajjCorp Videos The Land Cruiser wasn't popular enough for the IIHS to test it. They don't even test the newer 200 series.
ZNormT6 It was a pretty sought-after car back then, but I guess it still wasn't anywhere as popular as some other models. On a side note, I'm actually surprised how expensive they were. Ours was fully-loaded and cost - adjusted for inflation - $70k. And today, they Landcruiser STARTS at $80k. They really started to become premium vehicles with the 1993 re-design, but it's still amazing how much it cost. BTW, still, at $70k, those cheap, Japanese car-makers decided to do skimpy things like only make the faces of the seats leather and have the sides be vinyl. Well, at least they put real wood paneling on.
+HajjCorp Videos because it's a full size truck and those aren't tested because they are inherently safe by design, due to them being 5000lbs, so nothing in the 3000-4000lb range would win against even a bad 5000lb truck.
Y10Q That's not always true. BTW, I haven't even seen a government test for it, nor have a seen a picture of a wrecked one. It's odd...
HajjCorp Videos
there is no point to testing full size trucks and suvs. Larger vehicle would always be safer than a smaller vehicle
Why did they not show tests of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban
Super ghetto and dangerous.
There is also no test shown of the then-new 1997 Range Rover.
I wrecked my old 1998 Oldsmobile bravada into a Honda Civic and we both surived, uninjured
That 4runner looked very nice
1999 4runner , 186,000 miles, still going strong. 2018 betches
186k is nothing
Betches 🙄
@@vxllfire
Eh what yeah nah.
I wish they would of tested the 99 suburban because that thing is tough!
GM is still kind of hesitant to work with IIHS today, and they lag behind on making new safety technology, like automatic emergency braking, standard on their vehicles. I don't think any automakers today are accusing IIHS of conducting "unrealistic" tests or picking camera angles for dramatic effect. The letter they sent to Dateline in this episode felt like a petulant, emotional response.
How did the 1996 Nissan 240sx do in the crash test
It’s interesting to see range rovers and jaguars no longer tested by the iihs. Leads me to think a modern Range Rover sport or jaguar f pace would flop the small overlap crash hard …
There's something far better called the NCAP rating system. Far better than the iihs. JLR regularly nailing great results for new models.
Have a look.
Would like if they did the pathfinder
these companies I make these cars do not care about our lives we should support this insurance industry doing this class tests. remember we normally have the most things that we love in life those cars I our kids.
Reducing claims = reducing injuries. Wild how careless most car companies used to be
Yikes... My dad drove a blazer for a while.
The landrover discovery also good a good rating even the 1996
Does the government still not do this test?
I want the cars the ones doing these tests drive
Frank D Mercedes E Class. Safest car ever recorded.
'72 Chrysler Imperial! Chevy pickup (80s or 90s?) crashed into the front passenger side. Damage? a 3" corner of the front fender was bent a little. The pickup was totaled, in pieces. Speed was about 30 - 35 MPH.
lolol no shit they're staged crashes. It's not like they accidentally crash test cars.
U defenitly dont know nothing about crashes do u?
I love how manufacturers say one test isn't enough, yet they were never bothered by the NHTSA's crash test which is much further away from "real world" crashes than the IIHS's test.
It's also funny how a manufacturer will say it's proud of its IIHS test results when a model of theirs does well, but the very same manufacturer will get so butthurt saying the IIHS isn't legitimate when another one of its models doesn't get a positive rating on the same test.
The only manufacturers I have respect for in these kinds of videos are the ones who say they will look into it and actually follow through.
The one of the explorer was a recreation of my dads car crash 🚙 🚗 💥
Good old Disco!
Oooh, then i better not crash 😅😂
8:25 Show O'Neill the Landwind SUV test!
so time told us how the constructors tried to manipulate the test results, by claiming that the test didn't represented accidents in real world

The Montero got a good and the pathfinder got a marganial.
Elizabeth Vaivao Actually, the Montero got an Acceptable. The 2001-04 Montero Sport got a Good, while the previous generation Montero Sport got a Poor.
i love my explorer but i say toyota is safe my granmother got in an crashe and did not get injured
My parents had a green Discovery HSE just like the one on that test, good thing we never had a crash on that thing, it’s insane how unsafe cars were back then, even big SUVs…
Given the list here you were definitely in one of the better ones.
Crazy how similar the injuries to the dummies are to real life. George Parker’s statements are so dumb as well as him saying in other videos that 40mph is ULTRA high speed and off set crashes are VERY RARE 🤦♂️ like that’s total bs because most roads that crashes occur especially ones where a car is totaled happen on roads around 45 to 55mph and many are at weird angles particularly with people trying to turn (which will create an offset crash).
My aunt got into a car crash on September 23, 2014 with her 2008 Honda Odyssey.
She doesn’t like to talk about it anymore but what happened was she trying to turn left and didn’t realize she went to far into the other lane when at the same time a guy with a 2003 Chevy Cavalier hit her head on around 50 to 55 mph. It was in between a moderate and small off set crash. Looking at the photos the Cavalier seemed to spin before it came to a rest a few feet past the intersection, while her van turned left violently at 90°.
She was able to walk away from the scene but was obviously very sore especially from the van doing the 90° turn, but the guy in the Cavalier had to be cut out of the car and airlifted where he had a broken femur and arm. I think his other leg was broken too.
I remember looking up the crash test of the 2003 Chevy Cavalier and the IIHS rated it POOR and the dummy had similar injuries to the guy in my aunts crash. I then looked up the crash test of the 2008 Honda Odyssey and the IIHS rated the Odyssey GOOD.
Meanwhile for me on January 31, 2022 I got tboned by a 2012 Ford Fusion with my 2004 Ford F-150 trying to turn left. While you’d thing it was a full frontal crash, it was more of an moderate off set crash because her passenger side front end was the one who contacted my truck first and absorbed more impact because it hit my truck cab which isn’t designed to crumple while her drivers side front end hit the bed where the wheel is which is where my truck crumpled in and bent my truck frame. Her passenger side front end was basically obliterated while her drivers side front end was still recognizable.
All I remember seeing was looking to my right and seeing the front end of her grill before it disappeared under the windows. My truck then did a 180° turn while hers did a 45° turn to her right.
The damage on my truck was a dropped drive shaft, busted frame, busted exhaust, and twisted suspension. Both vehicles were totaled. I was able to walk away and so did the other lady driving the Ford Fusion except she complained of face pain from the airbag and chest pain from the seatbelt as well as right wrist pain, so she went to the ER
What is the deformable barrier made of ?
DJH com I think like a honeycomb metal made to be similar to a cars crumple zone
@@commenter949
So basically no reasonably accurate data from this? 'Similar'.
They should tell His Ass to get into those vehicles and crash them to show how clearly “Safe” he claims they are in front of Everyone I bet that’ll make him change his thought
Isuzu was a sub brand of Honda
Negative. Isuzu was partly owned by GM. They built some vehicles for Honda because Honda didn't have anything in this class at that time.
I have been a Chevy blazer and someone in my family owns a Chevy blazer and a person would likely survive because Dateline said no life threatening injury to the head so this car I say in my standers this car passes
Tahoes came out back then, where they at?
Nowadays the recently made new models do better, but the 2018 Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee flunked the passenger side small overlap crash test:
ruclips.net/video/h6KtmzyrwH4/видео.html
The new, redesigned 2020 Ford Explorer has not been tested in that mode yet, but it improved to Acceptable in the driver-side small overlap test. After a retest and a passenger side test, the new 2020 Explorer was rated Good.
Kinda sad when the 98 does better than the '18!
My parents had an Isuzu Rodeo when I was 1
bull shit america is the richest country an he saying they anit got the money omfg comon people
... America isn't the only very rich country. There are many other rich countries.
The United Arab Emirates and Singapore are the richest countries in the world, the US is behind them.
Frontal overlap with also passenger airbags
what a load of shit from the manufacturers. its great to see 20 years later the auto companies listened
Y’all forgot the Expedition!
This was before the Expedition was introduced.
It spit spark plugs out on its way to the runway.
This was 1995 the car was probably not even released
When a guy from the federal government says we don’t have the money to do that you know he’s full of crap because that’s all the government does is spent tons of money lol
I could not find any other dateline videos. They are all from testdrivejunkie before known as bajabusta. Just search my channel and see there are more than just a few dateline videos.
Y'all like "it's fine if it performs well in a bare minimum best case scenario" and I'm like "well since the standard is set so high, if it meets it, what's there to worry about? It's not like they're asking something unrealistic, just holding a high standard."
Oh jeep grand cherokee
Lordo
Ford Explorer
OMG!!!!
I forgot that all other cars are bolted solidly to the ground in an accident.
if anybody wants to know the suvs mentioned at the end got acceptable, and marginal
The Range Rover would have probably gotten a Good rating.
The Institute has been crash-testing since 1969? That's what synths originally were? Those dummies? Didn't see that one coming...
wrong I'm pretty sure its 1959

I totaled my 2000 4runner last winter, and wakled away without a scratch...toyota is head and shoulders above all other auto makers
Both Honda and Toyota 😂
@@dazednconfusedrn The mechanic my family goes to actually joked about how with Honda and Acura, the car would run fine with water in the gas tank (although I would NOT literally want to try that!)
Screw SUVs, they are the reason that most manufacturers don't sell Station Wagons in the US anymore. For off roading, SUVs make sense, but as a family car, I'd go for a wagon every time. My dream car would be a Volvo V70 wagon with a manual shifter and cloth seats. Sadly Volvo stopped selling the V70 in the United States and used ones with manual transmission are rare, forget even looking for cloth seats.
***** I know the modern ones are much safer, its not that they are a danger to their occupants, its that they are a danger to normal cars on the road. I am also a big station wagon guy, and SUVs have just about killed that market, only a handful of companies still sell wagons in the US, and many of those are actually cross-overs or hatchbacks. People buy SUVs because they think they can go anywhere, but most of them will never leave the asphalt, and have less cargo space then a traditional wagon or minivan because of all that extra ground clearance. Many of them are only FWD so that ground clearance really doesn't do much good other then make them a danger to smaller cars.
No offense no one can take you seriously if your profile pic is a Lego it makes you look 5 just saying :/
Brandon Soo Considering the fact that the boxes say ages 6+ I doubt that.
Joking aside, you'd be surprised at the number of adults who play with LEGO. Go to most LEGO conventions and 80% of the exhibitors are adults. The average age of people in my local LTC (Lego Train Club) is around 40 and we display along side normal model railroad clubs at train shows.
Toys may be mostly for kids, but there are plenty of adults who do them too, heck, recently I discovered that there is even a large community of adult HotWheels collectors out there!
@scottthewaterwarrior just get a xc70. They are very reliable, we have had one for 12 years and have not had any problems
+MsxArty We have one, it is a great car. The Volvo XC70 isn't really an SUV though, more of an AWD Wagon and one of the few Station Wagons you can still get here in the States. Sadly they were never sold here in manual, and the V70 version has been discontinued here.
