We expect the vehicles we drive to be safe and reliable transportation.  They play an important part in our lives and are a major expense.

Some vehicles contain manufacturing or design defects that can pose a danger to our families and others on the road. Even if these defects do not create a potential safety issue, they might result in costly repairs to consumers. 

Some examples of common vehicle defects include:

• Engine malfunction
• Excessive oil consumption
• Transmission failure or slippage
• Infotainment and navigation defects
• Door latch, seatbelt and airbag malfunction
• Premature brake wear
• Premature suspension wear and failure
• Premature tire failure
