Hyundai & Kia Settle Car Theft Scandal

Attorney General Jeff Jackson and other attorneys general have reached a major settlement with Hyundai and Kia, addressing a significant issue: millions of their vehicles were sold without standard anti-theft technology, leading to a surge in car thefts. The agreement requires Hyundai and Kia to offer free repairs for eligible vehicles, install engine immobilizers in future cars, and pay restitution to those whose vehicles were damaged. This comes after widespread attention on social media platforms about the ease of stealing these cars. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
