Despite allegedly having longstanding knowledge about the engine defect in the above vehicles, Kia and Hyundai continued selling them and failed to disclose the defect to consumers, forcing consumers to bring their vehicles in for service at their own expense and reducing the resale value of their vehicles. These actions put the drivers and passengers of these vehicles, along with those with whom they share the road, in danger, as well as inducing consumers to overpay for defective vehicles.
Keller Rohrback understands that cars are a significant investment and that consumers deserve transparency around any known issues their vehicles may have. If you own or lease one of the vehicles listed above and are concerned that this defect endangers you, that you overpaid for a defective vehicle, or that the resale value of your vehicle has been impacted, we want to hear from you.
