#14 of 15 2008 3 star rating for driver safety by abuck Mar 09, 2008 (9:21 am)
Anyone have any more information on why the Escape hybrid has a 3 star rating for driver, but 5 star for passenger? Replies to this message: abuck (Mar 13, 2008 7:21 am)

Replying to: abuck (Mar 09, 2008 9:21 am) Just found out the answer to my own question...thought I would share. Apparently the Escape that was safety tested had the side curtain airbag as optional, which why it was given three stars and now it is standard...so presumably it would be re-tested with current features and get a five star rating.
