Type of Defects

Every year, thousands of Americans suffer injuries because of defective automobiles. Automobile defects may affect any part of the vehicle. The most commonly reported automobile defects include:

  • Unresponsive brakes
  • Faulty airbags
  • Leaky gas tanks

Each of these defects causes an important safety function of an automobile to malfunction, which may lead to serious injury in the event of an accident. Furthermore, when some of these defects arise, they may be the cause of an accident.
