Madison may sue Kia and Hyundai because some of their cars are too easy to steal.
Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway yesterday accused the two carmakers of “cutting corners” and “putting people at risk.” Madison Police reported a huge spike in Kia and Hyundai thefts over the past few years. One of the reasons is the rise of Kia Boys videos, which show how easy it is to steal some Kia or Hyundai models with nothing more than a USB cord. Madison’s city council will consider a motion to file a lawsuit at tonight’s council meeting.
