No....not in the sense that Suzuki Samurais were unstable, for example. I recall zero press on the issue of Wranglers being dangerous in that manner, nor did my YJ ever give me cause for concern with its handling. It wasn't a sports car, of course, and could be rolled if the driver put some effort in. That's true of any number of vehicles, though.The older Jeep’s were flipped way more easily though.
60 min. is the "news" outlet that made it appear that jeeps rolled easily. They should have been raked over the coals for the false reporting they did. They installed weights under the wheel wells to "simulate load". And then it took them over 75 takes to just get 3 roll overs if I remember correctly. That is the reason the name changed from CJ to wrangler. CJ had bad press, so when chrysler bought it out from AMC, they tagged it wrangler. All over lies.No....not in the sense that Suzuki Samurais were unstable, for example.

A family member owned a Chevrolet truck when Dateline originally broadcast their "exploding fuel tanks" slander. He received a [modest, IMO] discount voucher from GM that was to be used toward the purchase of a new truck, if he wanted to do so in response to concerns regarding the integrity of the fuel tank on his truck. Like Chrysler, General Motors was put on the defensive over similar prevarication.60 min. is the "news" outlet that made it appear that jeeps rolled easily.

Your friend should send this to Jeep’s Marketing Department!At a friends house. He did this in his field. My Jeep is the white topless Jeep in the bottom of the J.
