    You guys are so inspiring! I now own 5 kia’s!
  • I remember the good old days when kia's best theft deterrent was just being a kia.
  • @Coda6766
    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. Thieves don't consider the devastating consequences their actions cause. Car theft convictions need to be harsher and have minimum mandatory sentences even for first time offenders.
  • This have caused me so much stress and almost cost me my job. I cried for an entire week straight. I honestly cried myself out of tears and paying all the cost out of pocket. It’s messed up because my insurance dropped me and I am still paying on the car. I was 5 days away from getting my recall fixed because it was so booked out. I literally felt dead and never understood the importance of how important a car is. I don’t wish nothing but lessons on those people for causing so much distress. I worked so hard to get out of being homeless for 5 years to fall back on the ground like that.
  • @sacredgaggle
    It was only a matter of time before people realized kia's only anti-theft was being bland.
  • @amorton94
    My buddy had his Kia broken into. Ignition all torn apart but they didn't steal it. We think they got to that point, maybe even got it started, but then realized it was a stick and they didn't know how to drive it lol.
  • @DaveTex2375
    Fatherless Behavior, Social media and Prosecutors that don't hold criminals accountable are a bad combination.
  • @SPcamert
    My buddy's wife's suv got broken into. They never got the car started but they trashed the steering column and ignition cylinder anyway. It sucks and they were without their car for over a week while the dealership and the insurance company got it working again. All that said, that video of Gurty flying over a hill was fucking gold.
  • @samanthaaag
    This happened to me yesterday in CT, and I am devastated. These kids have no idea the damage and stress they are causing people.
  • @joshfowler197
    As other people have stated, lock cylinders have always been able to be removed by pressing a button. The difference is every other car requires the lock cylinder to be turned with a key before the button will press in. I can't believe a world wide company would let this happen.
  • @rockinshoes1
    Can’t wait for the Kia boys to meet the Glock boys 😂
  • @unknownvinnumber
    In Europe, an immobiliser is also mandatory. Didn’t know it wasn’t in America and car manufacturers also cheaping out on them lol
  • @Rudlof101
    Craziest thing to me is that they're charging for the kit and installation when it's completely and utterly their own screw up
  • This video just made me genuinely sad. Thieves suck. I feel terrible for those owners.
  • @admiralkaede
    stealing someones car or phone should put it as a FAR higher then just that items value as a car is often someones lifeline and a phone contains all the data and personal stuff of a person stealing these should be FAR more hefty crimes
  • @CenPapi
    Funnily enough i just got a letter from KIA corporate last week saying that due to a class action suit they are offering free steering wheel clubs to all KIA owners because of this. And instead of taking the blame for sub-par design they blamed it on: "risky social media "challenges" that encourage young people to break-in and steal certain Kia vehicles."
  • @sch-corp
    I genuinely cannot believe that there were cars being sold in 2021 in the US without factory immobilisers.
  • @asusjackson9286
    Kia claiming that their cars “meet the requirements” and just covering their asses is crazy💀 this is honestly on Kia
  • @The85F0X
    I’m a cop and school just let out for the summer, we had 4 Kias stolen just in my shift.
