Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the automakers’ failure to include immobilizers “sheer negligence” and said it “disproportionately impacts low-income Chicago residents” noting that “offenders have used stolen Kia and Hyundai vehicles to commit other crimes, including reckless driving, armed robbery, and murder.”
