Tiktok "Kia Boys" challenge spurs car thefts crime wave of Hyundai and Kia using USB cables

[Rekkapryde]

Just asked my wife again and she said he could only get liability insurance, nobody would give him comprehensive coverage on that car. So now that it’s stolen he just ass out.

Seen too man Tellurides around PTC. is it certain models not being insured?

This being dapped up by Lieutenant Daniels.

I'm cop a Telluride with ZERO problem.

Those Tellurides actually look pretty nice. I'd push one without a single regret.

We don't have those problems at Honda and Toyota

I was thinking of getting one of those Kia Stinger or even the K5

Nevermind

NOOOOOOO. I just got an Ioniq!!!

u do realize that on top of great reliability and value, they offer the best warranty in the auto industry.

if I were in the market for a car, I'd look at those 2 manufacturers.

I got a 2021 Sorento as soon as it dropped and haven’t had one issues yet. Just getting the routine oil changes and bringing it in if there is a factory recall.

I saw that too

They corrected me and told me to run it back...it actually says "Make America Player Again"

Yeah, Honda has their own issues. Toyota as well.

If I’m looking at reliability I’m going with either Toyota or Honda. You clearly don’t live in a city or metro area where auto theft is huge. Nationwide, Kia’s and Hyundai’s are stolen more than Hellcat and Scatpack Dodge’s and that speaks volumes when comparing that to pre-pandemic statistics.

Why would I buy a car that any 8 year old in America can steal with a slim Jim and a USB cord all because of the standard 5 year warranty that every automaker offers?

Have you ever had a car stolen breh? You sound delusional.

Yeah it’s reliable alright, …you can rely on somebody stealing it in 30 seconds.

NOOOOOOO. I just got an Ioniq!!!

[Mook]

You repping Raleigh as in North Carolina right?

I’m strapped now

 

[Ozymandeas]

NOOOOOOO. I just got an Ioniq!!!

I brought a Sorento five days ago

The cars that are stolen with the USB cable (as far as I'm aware) are the ones that have physical ignition switches on the steering column. Kia/Hyundai are one of the few car manufacturers that still had physical keys on some of their cars to start the vehicle (which is probably going to change because of this).
