Feeling safe in the Grand Wagoneer after a scary accident

[Brigitte_Lindholm]

I just had a harrowing experience in our brand-new 2024 Grand Wagoneer Obsidian L. We’ve only had it for a short time (barely 200 miles on the odometer!), and today I got T-boned by someone running a red light at over 40 mph. It was terrifying but I can confidently say this: I’m incredibly grateful to have been in the Grand Wagoneer when it happened.

The crash was intense but this vehicle truly lived up to its top-tier crash safety ratings. The cabin stayed solid and thankfully no one was injured. Looking at the damage to the other car and ours I’m convinced this vehicle is built like a tank.

I wanted to share this to highlight how important safety is when choosing a vehicle. If anyone is considering the Grand Wagoneer, I can vouch for its strength firsthand. Hope none of you ever have to experience this, but it’s comforting to know you’re in a vehicle that can take a hit and protect its passengers.

I’m really glad you are okay, that sounds terrifying... I’m curious if the insurance will total the Wagoneer and whether the frame is bent, it sure sounds like you’ll be getting a new one.

I’m so glad to hear you’re okay, the Grand Wagoneer sounds incredibly safe. Did the airbags deploy, or was it the vehicle’s structure that kept you safe?
