Korea Hyundai Kia: $ 200 million compensation in US class action lawsuit!
– Voices of dissatisfaction with the Korean Internet –
South Korea JTBC reported an article commentary on the class action lawsuit.
Hyundai and Kia Motors:
On May 19, 2023, Hyundai and Kia Motors agreed to compensate victims of $200 million (¥27.6 billion) in a series of class action lawsuits involving vehicle thefts in the United States.
Vehicle Theft Class Action:
Hyundai and Kia Motors’ US corporations signed an agreement on the 18th in a class action lawsuit filed by owners of vehicles without anti-theft devices.
Damaged vehicle owners in the US:
Victims in the US filed a class action lawsuit last year against Hyundai and Kia for making and selling defective cars.
CLASS ACTION AGREEMENT:
Hyundai and Kia have finally agreed to compensate American victims.
Up to $300 will be paid to “vehicle owners who cannot update their anti-theft software.”
Korean netizens say:
If the same lawsuit were to take place in South Korea, Hyundai would give money to politicians and pretend not to know about the rest.
With such a cowardly mindset, Hyundai Motor Company will never become a global company.
In Korea, Hyundai insists that no matter what happens, it’s the owner’s mismanagement.
A large number of voices pointing out the difference from the attitude in South Korea have been received.
