Recent Victories for Owners of Kia and Hyundai Lemon Vehicles
In 2021 there was a settlement of a class action against Kia and Hyundai, for engine defects and personal injuries for accidents were there were engine failures and fires from their lemon vehicles. The Theta II multi-port fuel injection engine or MPI engine, NU gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and Gamma GDI engines were used in Kia and Hyundai lemon cars. These engines were not produced properly, causing them to have failures where the crankshaft rotated on the connected rod bearings – producing metal debris to go into the engine on the engine oil, starting fires and causing serious accidents.
The litigation suggested that the Kia and Hyundai car manufacturers knew or should have tested the engines to know of this serious fatal flaw in the engine housing, which caused several serious accidents. The terms of a settlement are being worked out to include:
- Reimbursements in cash to owners for prior repairs and incidental expenses (towing)
- Free installment of a Knock Sensor Detection System software update to all cars
- Compensation for customers who had long repair times on their vehicles
- Free inspection, repair or replacement of damaged engines within a 15-year or 150,000-mile extended warranty
Although some people may see it as admirable that Kia and Hyundai will reimburse their customers for the defective lemon cars that they produce, it is a better argument that these car manufacturers stop sending out defective cars to consumers in the first place.
