What Are the Most Common Types of Vehicle Defects?

When you purchase a car, it should be in pristine condition. A professional inspection should have detected any faults and whether they be for comfort or safety.

If you are experiencing problems within a few years of purchasing your vehicle, it likely means that the manufacturer or dealer did not perform all the necessary testing. Not only can these problems cost you time and money, but they can also put your safety at risk.

Some of the most common vehicle defects include:

Defective paint - paint that may chip, dull, or fade abnormally fast
Electrical issues - causing potential issues to the motor, lights, and internal functionality
Malfunctioning airbags - causing potential danger if an accident were to occur
Power steering failure - increasing the difficulty of turning the steering wheel
Seat belt problems - reducing the overall safety of traveling in the vehicle
Faulty brakes - causing a potential issue if breaks were to fail when needed
Sudden acceleration - causing potential accidents with other cars, ramming into walls, hitting pedestrians, etc.
Computer defects - causing the engine, and internal systems to fail or work improperly

- Lusine A.
Very relieved and extremely happy with the results that the attorneys at California Lemon Lawyers provided.
“When my Infiniti began having reoccurring issues that the dealer simply could not resolve, I became frustrated and wanted to seek the assistance of a professional who can intervene on my behalf. I was referred to the California Lemon Lawyers through an attorney friend of mine. I spoke with Nick from California Lemon Lawyers and I immediately felt comfortable with him as he knew exactly what I was going through and promised he would help resolve the matter. After meeting with Nick, he informed me about my options. Nick took over all communications with Infiniti’s dealer and corporate headquarters. After a few weeks of retaining the California Lemon Lawyers, Infiniti accepted our demand and agreed to buy-back my vehicle. I was very relieved and extremely happy with the results that the attorneys at California Lemon Lawyers provided. These guys are the best! I would highly recommend ANYONE going through vehicle issues to contact these guys. They will generate the results you are entitled to.”
