Hyundai is jumping the shark over its response to the auto theft scandal

 Hyundai has been under intensive heat after youtube posts showed how easy it is to steal certain Hyundai models. After a shocking delay, Hyundai announced a solution - an antitheft kit that can be purchased from and installed by dealers - for about $750.00.  As this article points out, an owner might be able to get an equivalent fix outside the Hyundai network for half that amount.  

I suspect that the class action lawyers are going to prevail on this and Hyundai will eventually be sending checks for $750 to affected owners, but that might be years from now.  Meanwhile, Hyundai is losing customers because they deserve to.  

I don't have and don't want cases involving defective Hyundai.  This is just a comment from an outsider looking in.
