Rochester to Sue Hyundai and Kia Over Car Thefts
TL;DR Summary
The City of Rochester plans to sue Kia America and Hyundai Motor America for the cost associated with the increase in car thefts, which have surged due to videos on TikTok showing how to steal Kia and Hyundai models. The city claims that the automakers failed to add anti-theft technology, making the cars easy to hotwire with only a USB cable. Rochester had a nearly 2,400% increase in thefts of Kias and Hyundais in the first three months of 2021 alone. The cases against the automakers will be coordinated in federal court in the Central District of California.
