NYC Sues Hyundai and Kia Over Rampant Car Thefts.

New York City has filed a lawsuit against Hyundai and Kia for failing to adopt immobilizer technology that prevents cars from starting without their keys, resulting in a wave of car thefts that have been fueled by social media. The lawsuit alleges that the thefts are straining the resources of the city's police department and negatively impacting public safety and emergency services. The automakers have faced similar lawsuits from other cities, and have reached a settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit prompted by a surge in vehicle thefts.
