☆ Hyundai and Kia models topped US auto theft rankings last year
  + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Peter Valdes-Dapena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
In all, six of the top 10 most-stolen vehicles in America last year were Hyundai and Kia models. The list included the Kia Soul, Kia Forte, and Kia Sportage. Certain older Hyundai and Kia models made before 2023 are particularly vulnerable to car thieves. Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia, and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering. More than 1.1 million Kia vehicles nationwide have had anti-theft software installed, according to Kia.

Morgan Goldwich had her 2015 Kia Optima stolen at the end of 2023. Not your average car theftA viral TikTok dubbed the " Kia Challenge " surfaced in 2021, showing how to hijack vulnerable cars with just a USB cord. Kia and Hyundai models manufactured within a specific period — between 2011 to 2021 for Kias and 2015 to 2021 for Hyundais — lack electronic immobilizers. Insurance companies have taken noteDespite my good fortune in finding my car (if you consider having to pay a $1,000 deductible for damages lucky), I'm now faced with the hurdle of dealing with car insurance . When I was first searching for insurance, before my car got stolen, Progressive denied me on this same basis.

☆ The US government wants 52 million airbags recalled. The companies that put them in cars are pushing back

In a few cases, according to NHTSA, ARC air bag inflators could be blocked by small pieces of debris, stopping the gases from escaping as they should. In May 2023, General Motors recalled 1 million GM vehicles with the air bags. NHTSA estimated the risk of one of these inflators rupturing at one in every 370,000 air bag deployments. But officials said the only way to know if an air bag has the defect is for it to actually rupture. NHTSA and various automakers are still working to get vehicle owners to replace all the air bags involved in that recall.

☆ Kia and Hyundai Thefts Are Soaring — and It's TikTok's Fault

Lebeau-Chorn and Jenkins are just two victims of an unprecedented surge in car thefts that has swept across US cities in the past two years. The situation has become so critical that two major auto-insurance companies, State Farm and Progressive, have stopped insuring vulnerable Kia and Hyundai models. Safety shortcutsThe TikTok video that sparked the challenge — a how-to reportedly created by user @robbierayyy — exposed a security flaw in Kia models from 2011 to 2021 and Hyundai models from 2015 to 2021. All Kia vehicles are subject to and comply fully with rigorous testing rules and regulations outlined in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards." In Illinois last month, three 13-year-olds were arrested after being seen in a stolen Kia that hit and killed a 71-year-old man.
