Hyundai and Kia are telling the owners of nearly 92,000 vehicles in the U.S. to park them outside because an electronic controller in an oil pump can overheat and cause fires.

    Except for the whole thing where they removed a pretty crucial security feature which led to a MAJOR car theft trend causing a shortage of replacement parts. And that they didnt plan to do anything about it until the government stepped in.

    As for the remote start, it was installed at the dealership when I bought the car but no one will service it because it’s third party (they didn’t make Hyundai remote starts for my car when I bought it)

    Yeah the dealership sucked but Hyundai fumbled hard with the immobilizers and now there’s another significant recall a few months later. I’m off the Hyundai train.
