Malfunctions with Electronic Stability Control
Modern automobiles use computer systems to prevent a loss of driver control and compensate for human errors. These control systems help a motorist by computing how to best react to slippery roads or other dangerous conditions. However, a failure in these systems can result in some serious safety concerns and a loss of control over a vehicle.

Electronic Stability Control Errors
Safety systems in automobiles are wired through a complex series of computer inputs and outputs. A failure in any part of this system can result in a defect or shut-down of the stability control system. As a result, the system may not benefit a driver, and may even lead to a loss of control. The following issues can result from a stability control error:
- Skidding on slick surfaces
- Lack of oversteer correction
- Lack of understeer correction
- Too much engine power in an accident, increasing damages
These stability control systems are extremely useful computer controls that can prevent severe injuries in a car accident.
