Abstract:The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects
Investigation (ODI) collects consumer complaints concerning alleged vehicle safety
defects for the purpose of analyzing and investigating significant problem areas. It also
influences recalls of vehicles with specific safety-related defects.
This analysis addresses general stalling as a potential safety problem. Since 1975,
NHTSA has received over 17,000 consumer complaints associated with stalling problems,
and has conducted several investigations of vehicle stalling problems, including the 1982
Volvo, 1976-1982 VW Rabbits, and the 1976-1977 Aspen/Volare.
The purpose of this project was to: (1) review the data available to NHTSA for patterns
which could yield insight concerning the safety implications of stalling; (2) identify
high-risk stalling situations; and (3) attempt to identify high-risk vehicles/components.
