Traction and stability control don't help roll overs unless they lower
the
center of gravity or the roll over is end to end.
Wow, Bob. Did you actually write the comment above?

Most rollovers are
preceded by a loss of control, followed by lateral sliding combined
with suspension pumping.

Traction control, anti lock brakes and
stability control all help a driver regain control BEFORE this happens.

One reason testers defeat TC and ESC when possible is so they CAN get
the chassis in the air to make the numbers.
Yes
Do more research and get back to me.
Why? Regardless of traction and stability devices, the rolling moment of the
Tribeca is a function of weight and geometry. Once the correct moment is
applied to the car, it rolls.
