When cars go belly up, who is to blame?

Article Abstract:

It is likely that consumer groups will allege that the Toyota RAV4 and the Suzuki X90 have an innate tendency to roll over because of their high profiles. However, official statistics show that rollovers are largely due to driver error rather than inherent stability problems and that small utility vehicles are even less prone to rollovers than conventional cars.

Article Abstract:

The federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, along with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, have drastically over-promised on the efficacy of auto airbags, and sadly minimized the risk of injury from airbag impact until 1996. The media shares the blame for this fraud.
