Washington State Seattle city attorney sues carmakers Kia and Hyundai over increased car thefts

I wonder if there is a wave of these car thefts where the cars come from?

I actually drove a Kia for many years. When I got the car I figured it was cheap so I would spend the difference over time in maintenance and repairs, but at the time I did not have much money so that was the trade off to me. That Kia was one of the best cars I have ever owned! I can't believe how reliable that bottom of the line inexpensive car was. I basically keep up the regular maintenance schedule and with that model did the timing belt thing that was the most expensive thing that needed to be done on that model and it never broke down on me. I was so happy to drive that little car for so long. Finally traded it in to get a newer car and found out that the car had a bit of stuff done to it to pass it though inspection for being sold as a used car and that it is still on the road. Good little car!

Up next on the docket:

Stores that still use easily-breakable glass windows to showcase their goods are being negligent in allowing people to steal!

I was just making a bad joke.

Sounds like they are providing jobs for the underserved community. They are just being part of a diverse workforce doing the jobs we won't do, like car theft.

Funny, I lived in Korea for three years. You would expect a huge theft ring of Kias and Hyundais there, what being the dominant cars and all. Yet, there were more cars Stoen in San Antonio this last year alone that in my entire time in Korea. Weird, I just can't seem to peg the difference.

Clearly it has nothing to do with degenerate lowlife assholes.

Clown world indeed.

This isn't a design flaw issue. This is all about criminals not worrying about consequences, lack of enforcement of basic laws, and soft on crime DAs. Call a spade a spade.

I hope atty wins big

crappy cars.

Should people take the Kia challenge? The bonus prize, you get krispy Kreme dognuts for life.
