2012 Cadillac Escalade
The 2012 Cadillac Escalade is a popular vehicle choice for many drivers. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, awarded it only 3 out of 5 stars in its safety tests regarding rollover accident risk. Additionally, the NHTSA rated the 2012 Cadillac Escalade as having a 22.8% to 24.6% risk for a rollover if involved in an accident. These statistics hold true for both the new 2012 model and the older 2011 model, and it’s important to be aware of these risks if you drive this vehicle.

Why Do Cars Roll Over?
There can be many different causes of rollover accidents, but SUVs are typically at a higher risk for such an accident. Some of the situations that can lead to an SUV rollover accidents include:
- Steep drop-offs
- Uneven pavement / potholes
- Other collisions / car wrecks
Overall, however, the main factor that contributes to a rollover in any of these situations is the design of the vehicle. With SUVs, the higher center of gravity leads to the greater risk of a rollover accident.
