A woman who owns a Volkswagen Tiguan issued a warning to other drivers after discovering the crash test results for her vehicle.
Taylor appeared on her TikTok profile to explain that she recently saw a video encouraging drivers to check the crash test results of their cars — something that could prompt people to be more cautious behind the wheel.
Curious, Taylor looked up the crash test results for her car, a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. But after finding the ratings, she said she was completely stunned by what she saw.
“How is this allowed to be on the road? If I got into an accident, I wouldn’t survive,” she said in the video, adding in the caption that “Volkswagen is so wrong for this.”
Despite Taylor’s concerns, the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan performed well in major crash tests. According to CNET, the SUV earned a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, one of the most closely watched safety ratings in the United States.
It received top scores in key crashworthiness categories, including front and side impact tests, roof strength, and head restraint protection. In the small overlap front crash test, which simulates a more severe type of accident, the Tiguan was also rated very positively.
Still, Taylor’s video has racked up more than 16 million views and sparked a heated debate about automotive safety in the comments section. “Crash test of the Dodge Challenger 2015. I’m not driving anymore,” one TikTok user joked.
“Toyota Camry owners finishing your video stress-free,” another commented. “Me and my Honda will be fine. Y’all stay safe out there,” wrote a third. “I’d rather stay ignorant,” another admitted.
