Kia has not yet agreed to a customer reimbursement program for cars affected by theft. However, the company has initiated such programs for defective Kia cars in the past. For example, Kia is compensating 2011-13 model year owners who have been affected by the fuel economy rating of their cars. On November 2, 2012, Kia voluntarily adjusted the fuel economy ratings of over 300,000 vehicles and reimbursed these car owners, establishing a lifetime reimbursement program. The program covered the difference related to the higher fuel costs and included a 15 percent addition to offset potential inconvenience. A recent class action settlement has given these vehicle owners the option to receive the payment as a single lump sum rather than visit their dealer yearly to verify mileage.
