2016 Kia Rio Stolen – Will Kia Replace the Ignition?

Good morning…

Quick question – my brother-in-law’s 2016 Kia Rio got stolen “Kia Boyz” style, but luckily it was recovered. He thought Kia would cover the repair since it’s their security flaw, but the dealer quoted him $1,400 to fix/replace the ignition!
Isn’t this something Kia should be fixing for free? I’ve been looking around but can’t find anything saying they’ll replace the ignition, just that they offer a free anti-theft device. :grimacing:
Has anyone been through this or know where I can find info he can show the dealer? $1,400 for an ignition repair seems crazy to me.

Best wishes…

The cost of replacing the ignition :thinking: can be covered by your insurance provider if you have comprehensive coverage.

To find more about Kia’s policy :grinning:on stolen vehicles and ignition replacements, get in touch with their customer service department directly.

After a theft, it’s crucial to conside :anguished:r improving your vehicle’s security systems to prevent repeat incidents.

Look into ways to improve the :unamused: security of your car, including installing a tracking device, an alarm system, or a steering wheel lock.

You can decide what to do :sweat: if your 2016 Kia Rio was stolen by learning about Kia’s rules and looking into your alternatives.
