2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rollover Risks? (Chrysler Engineers Invited To New Testing)

So as of late auto blogs and online magazines have been a buzz over this video released by Swedish magazine Teknikens Värld. There web bases episode shows a dramatic lane-change maneuver called evasive maneuver (moose test), in which the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee seems to fail horribly.

It is a jeep not a sports car, so of course it's not going to handle that maneuver as well

Here is the Teknikens Värld page:

Jeep Grand Cherokee moose test failure

I wonder how a JKUR would do in the moose test at 43mph.

I can see this happening. I have a 12 limited and if you look at how the tires/wheels are kinda like tucked under the Jeep (make sence) or what i should say is kick out the stance a LiL more like wheel spacers.
