IIHS: Chevrolet Blazer, Still Deadliest Vehicle

Filed under: Chev love
Chevrolet Blazer

The Chevrolet Blazer (not the Trailblazer, for clarification) claims the IIHS’ most deadly vehicle with a noted 232 deaths per one million vehicles. It was followed by the Acura RSX with recorded 202 deaths per million car and the Nissan 350Z with a noted with 193.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) announced that the Chevrolet Blazer is still the raging deadliest vehicle on the road. This is according to the records that tell the enormous numbers of deaths cause by the one million Chevrolet Blazers released between the years 2001 and 2004. The two-door vehicle was noted to be deadly based on the 2002 - 2005 statistics.

The General Motors Corporation’s defense spokesman Alan Adler said on a press release from the Associated Press, "The study doesn’t really take into account driver behavior or how the vehicles are used so it’s difficult to really draw much significance." If you can recall, the spokesman have delivered a speech in 2005 and the speech he delivered was somewhat the same. The car was declared deadly in even back in 2005.

I guess they should focus more on the quality of their Chevy parts specially the brake parts.

However, in contrary to that of the Blazer’s statistics, the Chevrolet Astra is hailed to have the lowest numbers of deaths going to a seven deaths per million. Just in case you want to know, the Toyota 4Runner and the BMW 7 Series were also noted to have the least numbers of deaths on their car models.
