Eager to stay safe on the highway? If that’s the case, you might want to stay as far away as you can from certain vehicles.

A car tipping over seems to be the new breed of accidents. These types of crashes are no fun in the sun. In fact, they are mostly a lethal kind of fate. Think about it. Who wants to be upside down due to a flip over?

It is nothing that you would want to get yourself in. You’ll see that this list is made up of 25 cars that are known to have very high tip over rates. Most of these cars are big and not very steady. And their large size doesn’t mean they are stable on the road! Even though rollovers happen in only about 3 percent of all severe collisions, they account for around 20 percent of individuals killed while riding in a passenger car.

But you know what? Rollovers don’t have to be fatal. Rollover-evasion technologies, better driving strategies, improved safety systems, stronger government protocols, and better use of safety belts could decrease the amount killed and hurt by 50% or more.

With that said, most of the cars on this list were not just victims of a steering operation. Instead, in most cases, it was due to something they might have run into on the road while driving too fast.

19. Mazda CX-9

The larger the car, the more likely that it will tip over. This is the problem that this vehicle can encounter, especially if it drives too fast and makes an abrupt turn. It is interesting to note that the Mazda CX-9 had the lowermost strength-to-weight ratio of all midsize SUVs set up by the IIHS. Why is that such a bad thing? The strength-to-weight ratio computes how much power a car’s roof can manage before it crushes five inches, and then it is partitioned by the weightiness of the automobile.

At the end of the day, the Mazda CX-9 is a car that you want to be very careful in, especially if you are driving it too fast.

18. Dodge Ram 1500

In 2011, over 157,000 units of this popular pickup truck were sold. However, are buyers aware how unsafe this truck may be? The Ram 1500 as told by the JD Power, provides just two out of five points when it comes to quality. Most of the bad ratings for the truck stem from scanty safety ratings. These include in side impact and of course, rollover tests.

The Dodge Ram 1500, from 1998 to 2001, got flawed marks from IIHS in front offset tests. Not only that, it was rated inadequate in protecting legs and heads, and was likewise ranked poorly in capability to detain the crash test dummy. Even though the IIHS determined the Ram 1500 to be of “decent” status in front crash tests, the tip over capability became the issue.

17. Buick Rendezvous

There is no perfect car. However, this vehicle must make the list. The Buick Rendezvous has many defects that make the car far more unsafe than it needs to be. Rollovers in the Rendezvous model are often instigated by a harsh response to poor front impact rating and bumpy roads.

Forbes Magazine acknowledged that the Buick Rendezvous was the number one most hazardous car in 2007, the same year that GM stopped manufacturing the car. It might be safe to say that maybe its new name needs to be “Buick Disaster.”

16. GMC Yukon

Despite that catastrophe with the previous car mentioned on the list, another big GM car showed up among those with the uppermost risk of tipping over on the highway. The 2016 GMC Yukon, in addition to Denali trims, had a 22.9% risk of rolling over and causing accidents on the road.

However, rear-wheel drive Yukons did do a little better in frontal and side crash tests, but then again, the less-than-great score in steadiness ranked it among the marketplace’s nastiest. In other words, you might want to look the other way when you see this car.

15. Jeep Renegade

The Jeep Renegade is a beautiful car to look at, but it has its faults. Jeep’s four-wheel drive models had the lowliest scores for the rollover crash assessments. The Renegade four-wheel drive had a 24% danger in NHTSA tests. Even though this vehicle is doubtful to tip by oversteering, it still has one of the uppermost probabilities for rolling over when running over an obstacle on the highway.

When driving it, this is a vehicle that takes no prisoners, so be wise when it comes to this vehicle when searching out Jeeps. At the end of the day, the Jeep Renegade might score high in looks but low in safety.

14. Chevrolet Colorado

When it comes to the rollover tests, the 2016 Chevy Colorado was given three stars out of five. As stated by the statistics, rear-wheel drive classes of midsize pickups had a 22% likelihood of rolling over.

However, the number went down quite a bit (21.4%) in four-wheel drive models, but both Colorado and Canyon ended up with four-star crash ratings overall because of the rollover score.

Either way, you’ll want to think twice about overdoing it in this car, especially if you are a rough driver or the type of person that likes to manhandle a 4×4.  if that’s the case, the Chevrolet Colorado might not be your cup of tea.

13. Chevrolet Tahoe RWD

The 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe shares a lot of similarities with its Cadillac Escalade cousin, including the Caddie’s 22.8% chance of rollover in testing done by NHTSA. Tahoe did include perfect (five-star) scores in both front side and side crash tests. However, its three stars in rollover security dragged down its full score to four stars.

The Chevrolet Tahoe RWD is one of many larger vehicles that has its share of tip overs on the road. Most fall in love with the beauty of this car but next time you get lured in by its attractiveness and amazing qualities, remember safety first.

12. Nissan Pathfinder

When it comes to purchasing a used car, fuel and price economy are typically a major worry. Nevertheless, this list of cars with the highest rate of tipping over on the road warrants attention. Unfortunately, the Nissan Pathfinder is one of those cars. In addition to troubling scores from the IIHS, in government rollover tests the Nissan Pathfinder registered an estimated 15 percent to 30 percent danger of rolling over.

Nissan Pathfinder is capable of handling 95% of situations you’ll find yourself in safely. However, in comparison to smaller vehicles with lower centers of gravity, the Pathfinder doesn’t handle itself so well. Just make sure you weigh your odds when purchasing.

11. Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Did you know that sport-utility vehicles fared worse than passenger automobiles in the federal government’s newest rollover scores? Well, it’s true. Also, it showed that the Ford Explorer Sport Trac was known for posting the lowest score of all the models tested.

The Explorer Sports Trac, which is a crossover SUV is a great looking vehicle. There’s no argument that it has a lot to offer. Yes, its open cargo bed of a pickup truck is breathtaking. However, it scored two stars out of five in terms of safety. It was the only model to earn that score. In its rollover grades, the safety organization makes the point that a 2-star car has up to a 40 percent probability of rolling in a single-car crash.

10. Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size extravagant SUV manufactured and engineered by Cadillac. This was Cadillac’s first main entry into the trendy SUV marketplace. Experts have made the point that anyone travelling in a Cadillac Escalade has a better way of surviving than, say, a Kia Rio if the two cars were to crash, which pretty much goes without saying.

The 2017 rear-wheel drive Escalade, however, displayed a 22.9% possibility of rolling over as determined by NHTSA testing. This places it among the ten most dangerous SUVs  on the market. Compared to other large models like the Lincoln Navigator or Toyota Sequoia, the Escalade led the pack.

9. Ford F-250

Unfortunately, the Ford F-250 had to make the list. Despite for the flagship F-150 having high safety indicators, NHTSA tests found out rollover issues with the F-250 for the 2016 model year. Statistics show in the latest round of trials that the 24.7% danger put the top-selling nameplate in the lowermost five vehicles in its category. It went on to explain that the frontal crash tests were not perfect. It appears that there were quite a few accidents that occurred from the car tipping over, especially when driven at high speed. We’ll have to sit back and see if 2017 model is any better.

8. Ram 2500

The 2016 model showed that the Ram 2500 was prone to rollovers. To make matters even worse, the tests on the Ram 2500 for the 2017 model year discovered the same vulnerability. Most of the customers had to bring the car back after the rollover attempts. This Ram model showed a 23.7% risk for rollover, which led to a three-star score in the test.

As is widespread with other cars within this category of heavy duty pickup trucks, the 2016 Ram 2500 has had a few recalls since it was publicized, so potential buyers have more than a few things to deliberate before selecting this truck.

7. Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner is a tipping hazard even by the standards of large SUVs. It had the most appalling score of any vehicle tested by NHTSA in the rollover group. The 2017 model-year 4Runner had 24.6% risk of tipping over in both rear-wheel drive models and all-wheel drive.

Despite that deficiency, there was some good news on the safety front for the 2017 version. As specified by Toyota, it will not utilize a Takata airbag. If the tip over was not enough, the car brakes on its own. The problem is that it pulls to the right or left when it does. With that said, it appears that this vehicle is not the most reliable or safe, so watch out.

6. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4WD

Reports show that this vehicle is not one that you want to mess around with, especially with the 2016 model voted as being more dangerous than the 2015 edition. Despite the fact every other SUV had a rollover danger below 27%, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for 2017 had a 27.9% threat as told by NHTSA examinations.

The 2017 model had not been tested for the side, or frontal smashes at the time of writing. Nevertheless, the weak rollover rating was a bad forecast. On the good side, Fiat Chrysler proved the next Jeep Wrangler would not have the Takata airbags used in the 2016 version. Bag or no bag, it might be safe to say, run as fast as you can when you see this Jeep.

5. Nissan NV3500

This is quite a big car that looks great in appearance and has a good ride on the road. However, it can tip over easily. Despite looking more like a large van, NHTSA categorizes the Nissan NV3500 passenger vehicle like an SUV. When it comes to the rollover testing achieved on the 2017 model, it had a terrible score of 2 out of 5 stars.

The anterior and side crash tests have not been finalized at the time of writing. It is not clear if the NV3500’s rollover danger of 30.6% is the worst of any SUV or truck now on sale, however with a number so high we have to assume that it’s close to the bottom of the list in terms of safety.

4. Hummer H2

Hummers are awful regarding rear-end safety, making them dangerous to drive. Especially since they can cause a lot of warranty harm. Nonetheless, that’s not what makes them so unpleasant. These vehicles scored the worst in crash test and rollover assessments. Given that the H1 is built like, well, an armored military vehicle, it is enormously ridged and strong and includes a roll cage for good reason. The H2 is not equal to its rugged cousin and scored terribly in rollover tests.

The Hummer looks good on the outside and has a very sturdy makeup, however at the end of the day it can be quite dangerous if it makes the wrong turn.

3. 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ

If you are out riding around in this vehicle, you might want to be super careful. Yes, any vehicle can rollover if the right conditions occur. However, this older version has a very high percentage of tipping over while driving.

Remember the following formula: a high center of gravity + short wheelbase = high rollover prospective. Be extra alert with sharp turns if driving this old model. Many Jeep Wrangler TJ rollovers happen because of panic or quick turns of the wheel.

Something to keep in mind for Jeep drivers is to know your Jeep’s limits and respect them, especially with this model.

2. Dodge Nitro

Falling off from a dreadful structure and build quality, the Nitro signified everything that was wrong in regard to pre-bankruptcy Chrysler. Could the badly made design have contributed to its dangerous build?

The car cannot go at too fast without showing some indicators that it’s about to flip over. Dodge’s Consumer Information department was viciously honest regarding the terrible Nitro, admitting that its full interior, slow engine, and inexpensive feel made it very “hard” to drive.

Despite its other flaws, it is no wonder that this vehicle model was pulled from manufacturing back in 2012.

1. Chevrolet Silverado

A few years ago, The Willis Law Firm reported a story in regards to a Wyoming Man who was slain when his Chevy Silverado truck happened to roll over while driving on Highway 59 at 9:54 p.m. He took a left curve too rapidly, and the rest was history.

This vehicle has not only a high percentage of crashes but also rollovers. In 1998, the Chevy Silverado was presented as a full-sized pick-up truck. It has proven to be a well-liked vehicle in America, offering a full-sized bed for carrying freight and the choice of a crew cabin that has four doors.

Nevertheless, the size and design of the car make it occasionally untrustworthy in a rollover situation.
