Ford E-350 / Dodge Ram 3500 / GMC Savana Vans Susceptible to Rollover in Accidents

These vans are growing in popularity among church groups and sports teams and are incredibly dangerous. Between 1990 and 2001, over 1,400 15-passenger vans were involved in fatal crashes that resulted in over 1,000 fatalities. About 600 of the crashes were single vehicle crashes, of which 316 rolled over. Heavily loaded 15-passenger vans are particularly susceptible to rollover. These defective vehicles are unusually susceptible to rollover because of their high center of gravity and difficult handling characteristics. When they are heavily loaded, any abrupt steering maneuver can initiate a serious accident. There are over 500,000 of these vehicles on the road in the U.S.

If you or a loved one has been involved in a rollover or fatal accident while a passenger in a Ford, Dodge or GMC 15-passenger van you should know the facts surrounding these dangerous vehicles. We can help answer your questions. Call toll-free at (800) 349-0004 or contact us online.
