Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, and Scottsdale are among Arizona's largest Kia and Hyundai markets — and among the cities with the most reported Theta II engine recall denials. If your dealer denied your engine replacement claim, Arizona consumer protection law is on your side.
Arizona has strong consumer protection statutes including the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. Combined with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Theta II class action settlement, Arizona owners have multiple legal avenues to dispute a denied engine claim.
