Uh, no. The link I posted was to the follow-up video where the Chrysler engineers were on site conducting the test. They underloaded the vehicle, and it still blew tires in 7 of the 8 runs done under Chrysler's supervision.

To Chrysler's credit, they did some redesign work and actually passed with flying colors with a subsequent model. I only posted that to show how a poor handling vehicle reacts to situations our cars take with relative ease.
