When consumers purchase a vehicle, they have the right to expect that it is safe and functional. Unfortunately, many vehicles come on the market each year with faulty designs or defective parts.

Common Motor Vehicle Defects that Cause Injuries

Vehicle manufacturer recalls have been on the rise in recent years, and a large number of dangerous motor vehicle defects have come to light. These include:

• Defective fuel tanks that cause fires and explosions
• Defective brakes that fail and cause vehicle crashes
• Defective airbags that fail to deploy during a car accident
• Defective accelerators that accelerate unexpectedly
• Defective tires that cause tire blowouts
• Defective seat belts that become unlatched or fail to retract
• Faulty internal wiring that causes fires and explosions
• Defective software that causes the vehicle computer system to fail
• Rollover accidents, which are common with SUVs and other vehicles with high ground clearance

Motor vehicle defects can be the result of a faulty design, part manufacturing errors, errors on the assembly line, or other factors. Because of the complexity of vehicles and the numerous moving parts involved in their operation, it can be difficult to pin down the exact cause of a vehicle-related injury, particularly if you are not familiar with these types of cases.
