Several Democrat cities across the United States that have defunded their police departments are suing Kia and Hyundai due to manufacturing cars that are easily stolen.
The City of Baltimore has sued both Hyundai and Kia in federal court for producing cars that lack anti-theft technology.
In the lawsuit the City of Baltimore is blaming Kia and Hyundai vehicles for making up 40% of car thefts in the city.
Back in March the city of Milwaukee sued Kia and Hyundai too for creating “nuisance levels of automobile theft” in the city.

Per WBALTV:
Baltimore City is suing Hyundai and Kia in federal court for actions the city says are fueling a “vehicular crime wave.”

The increase car jackings of Kia and Hyundai vehicles spiked after a viral TikTok challenge showed people how to use a USB cable to steal a newer model of a KIA or Hyandai.
