More Information on Motor Vehicle Defects

Auto defects can present countless problems for drivers. Above all, they can be deadly, causing catastrophic accidents that result in severe physical injuries. Fatalities can also result for drivers, passengers, and others in the path of these vehicles. Many different issues can render a vehicle defective; however, in most cases, these auto defects are not apparent right away.

Drivers typically unaware of the vehicle defect until it has created a malfunction, often resulting in an accident. Therefore, these types of auto defects can be found to be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the vehicle, or they may fall on the responsibility of the party who manufactured these specific defective car parts.

Deadly defects and defective products found in cars and other vehicles happen as a result of the following:

  • Poor design
  • Negligent assembly or manufacturing
  • Improper installation of parts

Types of Motor Vehicle Defects

There are many types of possible defects that can affect the performance of an automobile and cause dangerous accidents that could result in serious injury. However, some auto defects have a greater potential to do so. These potentially more dangerous safety defects involve:

  • Air bags
  • Tires and tread separation
  • The vehicle’s braking system
  • Transmission
  • Roof flaws that result in a deadly roof crush
  • Seat belt malfunction or complete seat belt failure
  • Accelerator controls

It is particularly important to note that any auto defect can contribute to major problems in a vehicle’s performance since a single-vehicle defect can cause other vehicle systems to malfunction. Even in a basic model passenger vehicle, there are many different interconnected parts, which can be part of a deadly chain reaction.

Any Kind of Defect Can Cause a Serious Car Accident

Causes of Vehicle Defects Infographic
A defect in one of these different parts can cause a variety of different injuries depending on the circumstances of the failure. Because of the vast differences in many of these parts, it is important to be aware of how a defect can result in injury in the event of an accident.

For example, defects in a vehicle’s airbags or seat belts have the potential to cause devastating injuries and even death. According to Consumer Reports, it is very possible for defective airbags to release with such extreme and forceful intensity that they kill or severely injure the occupants of a vehicle.

Another example of a defective part is in the case of defective tires, which can cause severe or deadly accidents if they should blow out. SafeCar.Gov, sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, devotes a separate section to tires in their tool to look up safety issues and recalls. Every year, there are hundreds of auto accident fatalities that are the result of issues with a vehicles’ tires.
