I haven't been paying attention to Hyundai, what did they do?
Locally (Baltimore MD), in the city at least, there's been a plague of car thefts for a while, specifically of Hyundai and Kia models. I forget the exact details, but there's a software glitch that basically makes them child's play to hotwire and roll off with.
And they didn't really do much of anything to rectify it.
It sucks, because they seem to be great reliable economy cars, otherwise, from what I can tell. The fact that they are stolen so easily has kept me from looking into purchasing one.
They're not very reliable either, but as long as you get rid of it before the 10 year mark when the warranty on the drivetrain expires, they aren't entirely a bad option if you want something cheap.
Hello fellow Baltimorean!
