Many individuals each year find that their brand new vehicles are riddled with faults that make them both unreliable and challenging to drive. Though many drivers treat these faults as inconveniences, these faults may be the signs of compromised safety in reality.
Defective vehicles may have defects in their electrical systems or engines, but they may also have defects in their safety features. Moreover, many of the vehicle's defective parts lend to making the vehicle unsafe for those who occupy it.
Common auto defects that may present unsafe conditions for drivers include:
● Faulty seatbelts and airbags
● Defective brakes
● Accelerator problems
● Poor metal integrity
● Improperly shielded fuel tanks.
These defects can cause accidents that range from a lack of protection in the event of a collision to the automobile exploding or catching fire spontaneously. In many cases, widespread problems are attributable to design defects.
The automobile's manufacturer will usually address design defects through safety recalls. As such, vehicle owners need to stay up to date on recalls, as these repairs are free and may end up saving their lives.
In other cases, though, defects arise from manufacturing defects, which are errors in the manufacturing process. What is striking about these defects is that they are usually confined to a handful of products or even just one product while other products in the same model line are free from defects.
These defects are usually not addressed through recall and, as a result, may prove more dangerous to drivers. Even in a design defect, recalls are not issued until someone suffers injuries in an accident resulting from the defect. When you or your loved ones suffer from these defective vehicles, it's time to seek the compensation you deserve. Consult an experienced Product Liability Attorney at the earliest.
