The safety and protection of vehicle drivers and passengers should be of the utmost importance to automakers worldwide. It is unfortunate that many auto manufacturers prefer to use cheap, even faulty, materials in the production of their vehicles to save money, rather than using quality materials that cost a little more. This goes to show that profits are of the greatest importance to many car manufactures, rather than consumer safety.
All motor vehicle manufacturers have a legal responsibility to design and manufacture motor vehicles that are safe to the public. What this means is that all cars, trucks, vans, and SUV's must be designed in a way that makes them safe in possible auto accidents and crashes. There are various standards that automobiles must meet; one of the most important is called "crashworthiness." Crashworthiness refers to the protection that a vehicle provides during an accident. If a vehicle is deemed not crashworthy in the event of a car crash due to a defective auto part, the manufacturer can be held legally responsible for the injuries and any other damages that they caused.
