Kia and Hyundai Cars: The Target of Rising Theft Trends

For years, Kia and Hyundai cars have been the prime targets of hot new theft trends. This is mainly due to the fact that bored teenagers discovered that these vehicles lacked immobilizers and could be easily started with a USB jammed into the ignition. Despite attempts to address the issue, such as giving away free steering wheel locks, the problem persists.

Hyundai and Kia have made several unsuccessful attempts to fix the vulnerability of their cars to theft.

This drastic action highlights the severity of the issue and the desperation felt by owners who have fallen victim to car theft.
