Hey Folks…
I’ve been seeing a lot about Kia cars getting stolen lately and am wondering why they’re being targeted. Is there something specific about Kias that makes them easier to steal?
Any tips on why this is happening and how owners can keep their cars safe would be super helpful.
Thanks…
Hi,
Kias are targeted for theft due to a security vulnerability in certain models that lack immobilizers, making them easier to steal using simple tools. Social media trends have further popularized these theft techniques among criminals.
Kia cars, especially certain models, lack engine immobilizers, making them easier targets for theft. This vulnerability has been widely publicized, leading to an increase in thefts. To protect your Kia, consider installing a steering wheel lock, an aftermarket immobilizer, or parking in well-lit, secure areas. Staying informed and proactive is key.
Lack of security features, relatively easy to strip parts off of and ubiquity.
