Madison is moving ahead with a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai.
The city council last night unanimously approved the suit that accuses the two carmakers of ‘cutting corners’ and ‘putting people at risk.’ The suit claims that some Kia and Hyundai cars and SUVs are too easy to steal. Madison Police reported a 270 percent increase in stolen Kia and Hyundai cars last summer. The Kia Boys made the trend popular, with online videos showing how to steal some Kia or Hyundai models with a USB cord.
