Pedestrian 0% 0/4 stars

The Voyager fared poorly in these latest tests. The driver's chest struck the steering wheel, distorting the wheel's rim, and the chest compression measured by the dummy indicated an unacceptably high risk of serious or fatal injury. As a result, the car only gets one star for front-impact protection.

Several structures in the dashboard presented a potential hazard to the driver's knees and legs. The passenger compartment also became unstable during the test.

Alarmingly, the footwell of the vehicle ruptured during the impact and rearward movement of the accelerator pedal was 288mm. This, combined with dummy readings which indicated a high risk of injury, resulted in a 'poor' rating for protection of the lower legs, feet and ankles.

In the pole test, the curtain airbag did not deploy as intended, becoming trapped between the dummy's head and the B-pillar. The passenger airbag can be disconnected by Chrysler dealers, allowing a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in the front passenger's seat.

The label warning against using a child restraint in that seating position with the airbag still connected was not permanently attached to the sun visor. The presence of ISOFIX anchorages in the rear outboard seats was also not marked.

The Voyager has a reminder system for the driver's seatbelt. However, the signal was not sufficiently loud and clear.

Finally, the Voyager was awarded no stars for the protection it offers to pedestrians.
