A survey conducted by Kelley Blue Book online has determined that the government shutdown has slightly affected car sales and the decisions people are making as to when they'll next buy a new car.

Approximately 18 percent of people who said they are buying a new car in the next six months but they're going to wait until the government shutdown or debt ceiling are figured out.

The question earned 405 responses total, according to KBB.com.

Another 64 percent of those surveyed said the shutdown won't impact when they buy a new car, and 11 percent said they're not "familiar enough" with the current government issues to say it has impacted their decision.

At least 7 percent have said they're looking to buy a car sooner due to the shutdown.

"The on-going government shutdown poses risk to the on-going recovery in new-vehicle sales," said Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst at KBB in a statement.

The government shutdown has also affected the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which issues safety recalls and assess consumer's safety complaints.

The NHTSA posted a statement on its website which reads:

"Due to a lapse of Federal Government funding, NHTSA is unable to post any new recalls after close of business September 30, 2013. Recall searches will remain available but are only current as of that time."

Users looking for information on recalls listed before the issue with the government took place will still be able to do so. The site just won't be updated with new recalls
