The US Transportation Department issued
vehicle-ratings covering 43 vehicles from the 2001 model year.
The vehicles included light passenger cars, SUVs and vans. The
ratings were based on a statistical formula that includes measuring
the height of a vehicle’s center of gravity and its width
from wheel to wheel. Five stars means a vehicle has a rollover
risk of less than 10%; four stars, between 10–20%; three
stars, between 20–30%; two stars, between 30–40%;
and one star, greater than 40%. Only one got five stars–the
four-door Honda Accord. The Chevrolet Blazer four-door 4X2 model
and the GMC Jimmy/Envoy four-door 4X2 model both got one star.
The Ford Explorer rated two stars.
