Kia and Hyundai face legal action over widespread car thefts.

The city of Milwaukee has approved retaining outside counsel to sue Kia/Hyundai over rampant thefts of their vehicles, blaming the manufacturers for making vehicles without anti-theft systems. Milwaukee police reported that 373 Kias and 304 Hyundais have been reported stolen so far this year, leading the city attorney to call the city "ground zero" when it comes to the thefts of the vehicles. Earlier this month, the city of Madison's Common Council approved moving forward with its own lawsuit against the South Korean automakers after a social media challenge exposed their vulnerability and led to a spike in stolen cars.
