       Chevrolet Silverado Truck Roof Failure & Rollovers

      Chevy Silverado and its cousin the GMC Sierra Pickup truck roll over at alarming rates. Many of these trucks suffer extreme roof failure collapse during highway rollovers due to the energy of highways speeds along with the heavy frame and body of this vehicle. Sadly the roof pillars will not support the truck's weight causing the undersized and weak roof pillars and roof supports to bend or break under the pressure. This is often the case when a driver is faced with a tire failure, blow out or sudden avoidance of an animal or object on the road. When the roof is stressed, the roof strength is compromised and gives way and failing causing massive roof crush and roof supports failure, with airbags and seatbelts not protecting the occupants as designed. Poor roof design and use of weak material and poor welding may be partially to blame. Let us investigate and get you some answers.

Designing vehicles with stronger roofs padded or cushioned interiors, airbags, side curtain airbags, better seatbelts, but the best device has been the addition of the  Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or rollover computer to help prevent vehicles from losing control and rolling over in the first place.
