One year I bought Consumer Reports "Car of the Year".
The next year, it was on their list of "cars to avoid".
I paid dearly for following that advice.

In the 35-mph frontal test, seats separated from their bases, rotated too far or would have inflicted grave injuries, Consumer Reports said. At 38 mph, four seats flew out of their bases following side impact, it said.

Other reports say that they farmed out the tests, and they were done, by mistake, at 70MPH. They are facing some multimillion dollar law suits from manufacturers.
