2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON Structurebody Problems

Our Tucson was stolen in Charlotte, NC on [XXX]. The pax rear window was broken and the thieves broke open the steering column to start the car. It appears they used the well-known "Tik-Tok" method. I have record that our Tucson had the "software update" installed, at a local dealership, a year ago. This update (which should've been a recall) was supposed to address this issue. Despite this update, the car was stolen in less than 2 minutes (I have Ring camera pictures with timestamps). I have doubts now that the dealership actually did the update. Part of the update includes a specific window sticker that is to be applied to the driver's door window. That decal is missing. There is no evidence that it was ever there (I have pictures). The car was recovered but cannot be driven. It must be towed due to the damage. Another concern is...

The paint on the hood of my 2019 Hyundai Tucson started peeling in August 2023. I took it to a Hyundai dealership in October to see if they could fix it. The dealership said it was a manufacturer's problem and my paint insurance was not going to cover it. The employee told me that he would submit a claim to Hyundai, asking if corporate would cover part of the cost. I have yet to receive a response.

Paint is coming off of hood. Nothing was hit. Nothing fell on top of car.

This car was stolen because the manufacturer neglected to install an immobilizer in the engine. The car was locked and parked in a secure location, and someone broke the window, opened the steering column and was able to start the car with simply a USB. This incident could have entirely been avoided if it weren’t for the negligence of Hyundai manufacturers for not installing a key component of this vehicle. The engine immobilizer. The car has since been in the shop for 50 days attempting to repair the damage done by the thieves. Charging me tons of money in deductibles, transportation fees, rental coverage. Again, all of this could have been avoided if Hyundai was a responsible dealer.
