For example, if you have vertices too close to one another, you may have topology issues. So you may want to investigate at the sub object level. I'll go in the front view and select my spline object, maximize that with alt w, go into vertex sub object mode, and get in closer, and we can see in certain areas in fact, we do have a situation where we have two vertices very close to one another.
