Crash Test 2000 - 2004 Dodge Intrepid / Chrysler Concorde LX/LXi (Frontal Impact) IIHS

Description

Dodge Intrepid 2000-04 models results also apply to: 2000-04 Chrysler Concorde LX/LXiFRONTAL OFFSET TEST OVERALL EVALUATION: Acceptable Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right Acceptable Good Good Marginal Marginal Marginal Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight. Test details: The Dodge Intrepid and the Chrysler Concorde LX/LXi were redesigned for the 1998 model year and modified beginning with 2000 models to change airbag deployment characteristics. Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. There was too much upward movement of the steering wheel, which contributed to the dummy's head hitting the steering wheel through the airbag. During rebound, the dummy moved toward the driver door, and its head approached the window sill. Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be possible. Head acceleration from the steering wheel hit was low.
