Florida is one of the largest Kia and Hyundai markets in the country. Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee owners have reported widespread Theta II engine recall denials. Florida's Lemon Law and consumer protection statutes give you strong grounds to dispute.
Florida's Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act (Lemon Law) and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) are among the most powerful consumer protection tools available. Carl's Garage helps Florida owners generate dispute letters that cite these statutes alongside the Theta II settlement.
