Reactionaries have used rising car thefts to justify ineffective tough on crime policies despite widespread knowledge that the increases are largely a result of negligence from Kia and Hyundai and the inability to hold corporations accountable.

I think it’s more like failing to meet basic standards and practices for a consumer product. Like how would you feel if the next cell phone you bought couldn’t be locked? Failure to comply with basic standards of what your selling is wrong.
If a car doesn’t meet the standards set by lawmakers, it can’t be registered for use on the road. So these cars met the legal requirements.
There’s a difference between what consumers accept to be standard and what’s legally required. Have you seen the state of consumer protections in the US?
True but when you meet what’s legally required, how can you be sued?
There’s a ton of different ways this could be approached legally from my limited legal knowledge. The entire basis of tort law is being able to sue for damages that were incurred due to actions or decisions of a party that caused you harm. What they did to harm you can be entirely legal. That’s the entire point of civil court. You don’t have to break the law to be sued.
