You can only assume it was a deliberate decision by FCA to give up and flunk the safety tests - the test criteria/methodology aren’t secrets and other manufacturers seem to be able to pull off reasonable ratings with a body on frame construction.

It seems like a brave move for a brand that’s battling a reputation for quality and reliability issues to also roll out a vehicle that earns a crash rating that would embarrass a Chinese brand.
