Cynthia Yeghiaian Et Al V. Kia America, Inc. Et Al
Summary: This consolidated class action lawsuit has been filed against Kia America, Inc., Hyundai Motor America, and Hyundai Kia America Technical Center, Inc. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants sold vehicles with a defect that makes them susceptible to theft, unsafe, and undervalued. The plaintiffs argue that the defendants failed to disclose this defect, which is a significant detail that a reasonable person would consider when purchasing a vehicle. As a result, the plaintiffs are seeking damages, compensation for losses, injunctive relief, and a refund of the money paid for the defective vehicles. The lawsuit claims violations of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, unjust enrichment, breach of express and implied warranty, negligence, and design defect. The plaintiffs assert that the court has personal jurisdiction over the defendants and that the United States District Court, California Central is the appropriate venue. They are seeking damages exceeding $5,000,000 and believe that a class action is the most suitable method for resolving the dispute fairly and efficiently.
