A faulty car part can produce one of the most frightening scenarios faced by drivers. Unfortunately, even careful car owners who maintain their vehicles regularly may fall prey to a manufacturing defect. Without warning, a part can fail, either no longer fulfilling its role in the vehicle’s operation or producing a destructive reaction to the defect. In either situation, a driver’s safety can be immediately compromised, as some form of control or safety precaution is often lost in a matter of seconds.

Types of Car Malfunctions and Defects
There are many systems in modern automobiles that require so many properly working pieces that a malfunction can develop through a single moment of manufacturer carelessness. However, with the consequences for these mistakes being as high as they are, there is no excuse for a defective automotive product. The following are common car part malfunctions that can lead to serious injuries:
- Seat Belt Injuries
- Brake Malfunction
- Tire Defects
- Air Bag Defects
- Child Car Seat Defects
The failure of a basic control system or a malfunctioning safety device can have a major impact in either causing an accident or making the injuries resulting from the accident more severe.
