Hyundais and Kia owners who are watching cars like theirs get stolen at alarming rates are taking the automakers to court, saying defective ignition systems on some models are to blame.
Car owners in Wisconsin filed suit in June 2021.
Just days ago, Kia and Hyundai owners in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky and Texas also filed class action lawsuits.
Locally, thefts of some models of Hyundais and Kias are soaring.
St. Louis Police say in July alone, 1,000 cars were reported stolen - 301 were Hyundais and 333 were Kias.
That’s about two-thirds of every car stolen in July.
Police say thieves are using USB cords to start the engines on some models that are not equipped with immobilizing technology after breaking windows not connected to the car’s security systems.
