The Nissan Pathfinder, much like other SUVS, is built with a narrow wheelbase and high center of gravity. These are both contributing factors in rollover accidents. In circumstances where an SUV must make evasive maneuvers, their design makes them harder to control and often results in one car rollover accidents.
IIHS review of the 1997 Nissan Pathfinder indicated that:
- There was too much upward and rearward movement of the steering wheel.
- During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
