My vehicle was broken into on Nov. 17, 2022 and thieves attempted to take the vehicle after smashing the back passenger window and gaining access. The vehicle alarmed once they either attempted to either open the drivers side door or start the vehicle. Police were called and completed a report on scene. On Nov. 23, a thief returned and gained access to the vehicle by shattering the glass on the back driver side of the vehicle before getting inside and driving off in the vehicle. I reported the vehicle stolen to police and the vehicle was recovered later that evening. On Nov. 25 I went to the tow yard where the car was taken to retrieve my belongings and observe and record the damage. The entire steering column was stripped down and damaged which is how the thief was able to start it. There are highly circulated videos on social media platforms showing criminals or would be criminals how to do this. It is now also known that they are targeting specifically Kias and Hyundais due to Hyundai manufacturing cars between 2016-2020 without immobilizers. My make and model being one of them and therefore making me a target. Not only that but the cars are being taken and used for joy rides, as mine was, or used in crimes. My car sustained additional damage as it was crashed into another vehicle during the thieves joyride before they ultimately jumped out of the car and abandoned it in an intersection. I was targeted, my livelihood put in jeopardy and if the car is fixable I will still be in harm's way once the repairs are completed. Hyundai needs to be held accountable as there is no way I would have purchased this vehicle knowing that the car was missing a major safety and anti-theft component. Further, why were they allowed to manufacture and sell these cars without such an important component??

I took in my 2017 Hyundai Tuscon after the engine had stalled while driving. While in the shop, the engine was replaced which was part of a recall (Campaign 209) and also recalls 195 and 966 was addressed. After the repairs and driving home from the dealership, the engine and air conditioning started making weird noises and the following warning lights went on: ABS, power steering, and electronic stability control. When this happened, steering became difficult. We brought the car in the shop, but they denied there was any problem. Within two days after brining the car back to the dealership, the same problem occurred. And now the car will not even turn on.
