Chicago sues Kia, Hyundai over ‘car theft crisis’

The complaint alleges Kia and Hyundai failed to equip their U.S. cars with anti-theft technology after a surge in thefts sparked by videos on TikTok and YouTube showing how to steal cars without keys.

Mayor Brandon Johnson with the 4D Chess Move as it relates to the car theft problem in the city over the last few years...

@CHICAGO

Breh you okay??

Mayor is right though. They couldn't do a full recall, but should have alerted owners to come in and do exactly what he said.

It was an absolutely horrible design and Kia/Hyundai should be held responsible to some degree.

I’m just not sure if it will stand up in court.

Potential huge domino effect. Other cities will follow suit depending on what happens here.

Residents still pissed, they want the thieves locked up and could give af about this lawsuit

 

[jilla82]

so can I sue the city for allowing all these robberies?

 

[GoldenGlove]

say what lol

Brandon is staying true to his campaign platform. When it comes to accountability, he looks at the macro perspective before the micro. Meaning... he wants smoke with the corporations and the powers that be. Downside is people feeling like he's not addressing immediate problems/issues and neglecting that side of the equation.

Give me my money

Got so bad it made me abandon Kia gang and join Toyota gang

shyt they need to sue these Kia boys

If they had support and after school programs they wouldn't be stealing cars and posting it on social media

Got a good case imo, Hyundai’s cheapness is the sole reason this is even a thing compared to literally every other manufacturer and then had the nerve to drag their feet on supplying a solution as if it ain’t their fault

I’m sure they’re punishing the criminals that engage in the theft and destruction of folks property to the full extent of the law, right?
