I've seen some posts saying it worked and others that it doesn't, but at least they're trying. Kias and Hyundais are sold all over the world, including many countries poorer than the U.S., and yet this is a uniquely U.S. problem. How about we hold the fucking criminals responsible? So many of them get caught, released, then steal and crash another one the same fucking day. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:976437870] in Kias and H...

Its mostly juvies doing the thefts, they just break the window and take off. Only one time I saw they actually sawed the off the club and steering wheel lol. Took off off the driving the knob I tell anyone to sell their Kia or Hyundai if they have already. Its like a plague right now.

It doesn't matter if they put the immobilizers in newer model year versions, the teenager planning on stealing a Kia isn't going to stop and say "oh this is a 2023 model, I'll leave it alone", you're still at the very least getting your window broken. <cite>TheDurinator posted [p:976441499] in Kias and H...

littlebro07 10/03/23 12:29:26 AM #15:	VFalcone posted... Can I get some context? In the US, engine immobilizers were not legally required so Kia and Hyundai didnt put them into their cars (other than the higher trims with push to start). Some people found out you could take off part of the steering column thingy and start the car with a usb cable, posted it on tiktok, and now dumbfuck kids steal peoples cars and joyride/crash them. If you have a model year prior to 2022 that uses a key, youre at risk of it getting stolen, if you have a push start youre still at risk of your window getting smashed. Get one of the many aftermarket badge replacements as a slight deterrent Luckily my K5 has the new badge (2022+) and the Kia Boyz seem to realize those ones cant be stolen any more easily than other brands. Aside from the theft issues, the Koreans have been absolutely killing it the last few years. --- https://i.imgtc.com/MGGa6Os.gif <cite>littlebro07 posted [p:976443372] in Kias and H...
