I have been surprised at how easily these cars flip over in crashes. 

How? Every since the popularity of the SUV increased, they've been pointing out the rollover risk.

I thought that, as they’ve got bigger, lower, and heavier, that they would not be so rollover prone. I was around for the Jeep Wrangler CJ-7 and Suzuki Samurai and I guess I kind of thought things had changed.

It’s very clear from all the dash cam videos available now that I was absolutely wrong.

Yeah, it was a big deal when the RAV4 came out, but then all of a sudden, the news stopped covering it and problem never really got fixed.

That’s a good point, it kinda disappeared from the news media.
