What is the Kia Class Action About?
The Kia Class Action alleges that certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles lacked an engine immobilizer, making them susceptible to theft and damage. The lawsuit contends these vehicles contain design flaws, specifically the failure to equip the vehicles with an anti-theft device known as an engine immobilizer, thereby increasing their risk of theft.
