Defective Cars and Parts
Defective autos and auto parts can include a wide variety of products or items, of which some can be bothersome, while others are outright dangerous. They can be a light that does not work properly, or something more serious like a break defect that can be dangerous when the auto is driven. In an accident a defective seatbelt or air bag can cause serious injuries or can even cause death.
Stand Up and Fight Defective Autos and Parts
Defective autos and auto parts should be simple enough to take care of by contacting the dealer or manufacturer, but all too often that is not the case. Many consumers do not get the satisfaction they seek from the dealer or manufacturer and when these consumers join together they can use the class action lawsuit to hold the dealer and manufacture of the auto or auto parts accountable. Contacting Ehline Law it is possible to learn of other consumers that have had similar experiences.
The common problems with auto and auto parts defects are:
- Design Defects: Design defects can be dangerous, when purchasing a vehicle the consumer expects that it is crash worthy, which means that there are not defective seatbelts or airbags, it has been tested to ensure the roof does not crush in a rollover accident, there are no brake issues and other items that can be life threatening. The roof on a safe vehicle should be able to be involved in a rollover crash and not crush.
- Safety: Safety is the number one thing that people look for in a vehicle, yes gasoline mileage factors in, but not as much as safety. Every year the new models offer more safety that is built into the vehicle, but if they are defective they cannot protect the occupants of the vehicle. Defective seatbelts or airbags need to be repaired and as soon as the manufacturer is aware of this the models affected should be recalled. When they are not this is illegal and is a cause for a class action lawsuit.
When the dealer or manufacturer of a vehicle knows there is a defect and does not attempt to resolve the problem this is a reason for a class action lawsuit and this lawsuit can request the vehicles be recalled and repaired.
