An engineer has testified in a case against the Ford Motor Group, following an accident where a Ford Explorer suddenly accelerated in 1999, causing an accident that left one woman seriously injured and another dead. The engineer testified that it was electromagnetic interference that caused the sudden acceleration in the vehicle.
Antony Anderson said that the interference is something that you cannot see but that can have an impact and does exist. He gave demonstrations of the effect that electromagnetic interference can have using a variety of props. He said that in his opinion the acceleration was electrical and out of the customer’s control.
The lawsuit was filed against the Ford Motor Group and also against TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. and D&D Motors Inc. As part of the lawsuit some of the matters being investigated and questioned include the occupant restraint system of the vehicle, the vehicle body and chassis, and the electronic cruise control system.
The 1995 Ford explorer’s sudden acceleration caused one woman to be killed, and another was left a quadriplegic. However, attorney for the defendants state that the two women involved were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Topic Added July 26th, 2006
