Rx and Rollover Question
We are very happy with out Rx300. Last week here in Northern California our local PBS channel run a documentary regarding Suv’s and their rollover problems. Most of the feature centered around the ford expedition, their fiasco with the firestone tire incident and the earlier broncos. Anyway, the feature concluded that most Suv’s today are still susceptible to rollovers.
My questions is to all Rx owners if they have heard any Rx that was involved in a vehicle rollover our some thoughts regarding our Rx and the subject.
Thanks

Roll over is simply based on dynamic weight transfer and SUV's having higher center of gravity are relatively more prone to roll over. Mostly, the roll overs can be assosiated to drivers NOT adjusting their driving habits [driving as if in a car and not SUV].
Couple of things about RX.
1. Steering is not as responsive, so minor turn of the steering does not change direction of the RX (more stable).
2. There is no significant history of Good Year integrity tires blowing up.
Last of all: Any vehicle can be fliped and it depends on how it is driven. Is there a long list of flipped over RXs. NO.
