NHTSA complaint #10782261, filed 2015-10, 156,000 miles“There are no crash test ratings for the rear occupants in Jeep wranglers. Passengers are extremely vulnerable in the back seat since there is no protection except the roll bar but if they are rear-ended, the other car could simply hit the back seat directly. There is no neck protection as the seat is too short. When children ride back there, they are basically unprotected. This situation needs to be advertised so people don't assume it is safe to have passengers, especially children in the back of Jeep wranglers. The back seat is only designed for cargo, not people! …”
