Alston Et Al V. Kia America, Inc. Et Al
This lawsuit is a class action against Kia and Hyundai for failing to install engine immobilizers in their vehicles, which has resulted in a significant increase in car thefts. The plaintiffs argue that the lack of an engine immobilizer is a defect that makes the vehicles less safe and less valuable. They also claim that the defendants knew about this defect but failed to disclose it to consumers. As a result, the plaintiffs have suffered harm, including the theft of their own vehicles. The lawsuit seeks damages and a solution for the thousands of Kia and Hyundai owners whose vehicles remain without engine immobilizers. The plaintiffs and classes seek damages resulting from the defendants' breach of implied warranties and unlawful conduct, including overpayment for the vehicles, insurance deductibles, and the cost to replace stolen property.
