Vehicle and System Testing

The performance of an allegedly defective vehicle is sometimes questioned. When simple inspection is not enough, the best evidence of performance is to test the car or truck in question or its duplicate. Creative testing methods allow us to closely examine theories of vehicle and system performance.

For example, we have duplicated defective truck brakes by rigging brake system defects and testing the truck's stopping distance. We have duplicated a vehicle with a defective engine mount that would allow the engine to physically lift and hold the throttle locked open, rendering the vehicle out of control.

We have road tested vehicles to find how they perform or fail, such as how a parked and running car or truck might actually drop from park to reverse and become a runaway vehicle. We have duplicated and bench tested the endurance of lighting systems on trucks.

For highly specialized testing, our Ann Arbor, Michigan, location provides access to many of the foremost automotive test laboratories and research libraries in the world.

We report the results of our tests orally, in writing, in deposition, or in expert witness testimony at trial, as required.
