    which one? It’s not so much one big scandal (although that skipping basic anti-theft features decision to save a buck is pretty big right now) but all the medium ones that pretty much point to poor engineering decision-making or standards that causes trouble for owners despite their (usually) lower prices and sharp styling. Their past decade of 4-cylinder GDI engines being junk, fire risk stemming from several very different causes, etc. Of course, one can argue corporations will penny-pinch, but Hyundai and Kia just seem to keep pinching in the wrong places that other manufacturers either learned not to, or never bothered to pinch.
