The sad thing is that people work hard to buy their vehicles. On top of that they use their cars to get to work. If the car is paid off and you no longer have theft insurance you are stuck.

People seem to think just because it has 4 wheels that it must be reliable. Kia and Hyundai have proven that. Any part that you buy for it is no better than what came off of it. The vehicles are so thrashed that parts in a wrecking yard aren’t of any value.. engines that are full of metal shavings, gummed up because they have never had the oil changed, etc.. this is why wrecking yards don’t want the liability and stuff whole Korean cars straight into the crusher. You will never see a Korean car in a wrecking yard that’s been mined of parts- there is no value in them.

The only reason I don't totally agree with you is that recalls aren't some arbritrary thing that manufacturers do. NHTSA tells the OEM that they are out of compliance with emissions, safety, or other regulation. If it is "Volutary", that means the OEM went to NHTSA and said "Hey, we aren't compliant and we are recalling" and NHTSA said "Yeah, you are right, proceed". Because of this, if they were to do something free of charge, it would be some sort of voluntary campaign that they initiate, manage, and report on, themselves. Yes, I know, i'm being picky with words. But in my line of work for another OEM, the "R" word is taken very seriously.

If you watch LPL (Lock Picking Lawyer), he goes over showing several bump keys that open all Ford models, all Volkswagen group models, etc. Also thanks to Lichi tools you can not only pick but decode (to properly make a key to come back later) and get almost any car with ease. I've also CAD designed my own key based on a photo and traced it then 3d printed it. I don't think you understand how all locks are literally child's play (there is one safe I was never able to crack, but even as a child my grandfather for Christmas bought me a mechanics stethoscope so I could hear tumblers). I wasn't that much into lock picking, but it came super useful when my dad would forget the keys to a lock and driving a tractor back a few miles would take an hour, and picking was faster. I still to this day cannot open a combination lock if I know the numbers, but I can do it behind my back in a few seconds (those are super easy to pick, but its just another example of the illusion of security)

As a former car thief I have to say, though, that this ignition system's design is way too easy to exploit. Normally & WAAAY back in the day I needed a minimum of 3 tools PLUS drill bits to break into a car's ignition system, & that's just the break-in. Once I'm in & depending on the make & model I could have to spend as much as 4-5 minutes starting the car. These Kia Boys are exploiting a ridiculously hackable ignition system that was built this way to save the manufacturer money. P.S. take it from a former player in this game that almost nothing beats The Club, particularly The Club system that goes over the accelerator pedal! Back in the day if I saw either of those things, I walked. They are defeatable, yes, but not by a street car thief. You need frikkin' Jaws Of Life to pry one of those. I never heard of anyone who could successfully pry a Club off of a completely circular steering wheel without cutting the wheel, which takes a lot of time.

However that doesn’t mean we’re just now seeing these claims. Oh we’ve been seeing them.

Most of the work is removing the lock cylinder. Once you’re past that point how you turn the ignition switch is up to you. The news reports made it sound like all you need is a usb cable.

I did the research on my own Kia. The lock cylinder is contained inside of a plastic housing. So, all you need is a hammer and punch to smash the lock out. And the USB-A connector just happens to fit over the shaft protruding from the actual ignition switch. A needle nose pliers will turn it as well. It's basically just the same brute force method to steal vehicles that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s.

This happened to me last night. 2009 Kia Spectra got broken into but the car thief failed miserably because not only did they fail to steal car. They dropped their phone inside my car. Police collected it as evidence so hopefully I can find my Kia boy and return his phone 😂

Dude even my old 2003 pt cruiser had a better key system. I remember my cylinder breaking where it connected to the ignition switch. To fix it you needed to replace the steering column in its entirety. I had to use the key to disengage the shifter and steering lock, and use a flathead to turn the ignition switch.

This just happened to my sister. A storm passed through and she had all of her windows smashed and the whole dashboard area had been taken apart. The kid that did this even left a screwdriver with his name on it. Don't know if they're just dumb or if it's some poor attempt to frame someone else. My sister has 3 kids, one of them an infant, and no dad around to help out. Absolutely heartbreaking and unbelievable that some people are dumb enough to do this kind of damage for a dumb TikTok trend.

My parents taught me a lot of street smarts, so I made sure the car was locked, windows up, no keys in it, nothing valuable in it either. And yet, the thieves were able to steal it and drive it away with ease. Fortunately, some very kind and friendly cops helped me out, but it sucks to know my car was so vulnerable to this.

I am in the same boat encephalitis of my brain and all my meddical forms were in my car.

At work we had a forklift with no key, and we hotwired it every day to get it running. Immobilizer is great but the problem with these cars is the ignition cylinder is so trivially easy to break. Maybe the explanation is that the ignition was designed to be used with a chip, and it didn't matter that it was held together with plastic. Then someone had the brilliant idea to save money by using the same (cheaper) part for both chip and non-chip versions. Somewhere along the line, the answer comes down to cost per unit.

This is a 12 minute video that's basically the director's extended cut of the original tiktok.

What ultimately sucks is that it doesn’t matter if people install aftermarket security devices. These vehicles are being targeted, which means they’re going to get broken into no matter what. Whether or not they can actually end up taking the vehicle on a joyride ultimately, it just means you no longer want a Kia or Hyundai.

It makes sense that they wouldn't skimp on security in a market where car jacking is so common --- at least, from what I've heard. Or course, you'd think they'd do the same for Chicago. 🤷🏻 Maybe South Africa has stronger laws in place than the US.

@@jpaugh64 When cars are (hi)jacked over here, they do it while you are in the car. In other words, they take the keys. In some ways, the higher number of hijackings is caused by the security inherent in the vehicle. Because it is difficult to steal them, it becomes easier to hijack them. Thankfully KIA and Hyundai cars are not really popular for hijacking, at least less popular. The most popular hijack targets are still the popular Toyotas, the VW Polo, and increasingly the Ford Ranger. Also, 3-series BMW and larger Audi's are popular options for later use in cash in transit robberies. I think the reason we have the better lock is simply because South Africa has always had a preference for the Euro spec cars, and many of our models are imported from Korea (some models are built in Benoni, in the Gauteng province). That means we get the Korean-built cars, rather than the US-built ones. It probably makes more financial sense that way. This lock issue is very much an American issue 🙂 To give an example of where the reverse happens. The Suzuki Swift, sold in South Africa, is built in India by Maruti. The same car, sold in Europe, is built in Hungary. Same car, but it means the Europeans get a slightly better put-together option.
