Some say the update is a little too late, with more than 1,000 Kias and Hyundais stolen in Cuyahoga County in the last three months alone.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - It’s a crime trend that went viral on TikTok and has plagued Hyundai and Kia owners ever since.
These stolen cars have been used to commit crimes across Northeast Ohio, including a robbery where three crooks drove a stolen Kia through the front of Summit Armory and stole dozens of guns. The prosecutor’s office said more than 1,000 Kias and Hyundais were stolen in Cuyahoga County in the last three months, and the NHTSA said the thefts of these cars have led to at least eight deaths.According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, most 2015-2019 Kias and Hyundais don’t have engine immobilizers.
