Automotive Computer Failures
Modern automotive technology has given drivers unprecedented ease of control over their vehicles. A motorist is surrounded by instrument panels that display information from throughout the vehicle. Drivers also have computer-supported control over braking and steering. These programs all work together to make driving safer and easier for motorists. However, electrical and computer malfunctions can knock out these important systems, leaving drivers without control over their vehicles.

Computer Malfunction Problems
Many drivers may not realize how many computers are working in their vehicles on a day-to-day basis. Many vehicles now come with luxury features that provide a computer screen for navigation. However, these navigational features are only a small part of the overall computerization of a modern vehicle. The following problems can occur when automotive computers fail:
- Power steering loss
- Power braking loss
- Anti-lock brake loss
- Engine warning loss
- Automatic transmission gearbox failure
- Lighting failures
- Airbag failures
These failures often occur due to two major problems. In some cases, a vehicle may have a wiring or electrical problem that causes computers to shut down from a loss of power. In other instances, a computer itself may be experiencing a malfunction. In either scenario, a loss of control can occur, resulting in devastating accidents.
