You guys are so inspiring! I now own 5 kia’s!

hol up
😂😂
Watch your cars man, this Tik-Tok nonsense is getting out of hand. The deterioration of a generation.
Demon time😈😈
I remember the good old days when kia's best theft deterrent was just being a kia.
And when was that exactly
@@abbassooo 20 years ago
@@SVXtasy_ 10. I wouldn't have taken a 2012 KIA for free for fear of it breaking down. Just assume the AC or heat are broken before you even get in
Remeber the Rio. Brand new it was 9 grand and still had to throw in a ten year warranty just to sell it.
@@abbassooo yesterday? 😉
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.
They don't care, the more devastation, stress, and heartbreak they cause, the better for them.
US should have a "3 strikes and you're out" policy. After being convicted of 3 felonies you get the death penalty
@@GoogleDoesEvil the liberals would have a fit. In most states if you have 3 violent first degree felonies you get a life sentence.
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.
@@peteness9550 yes, so true. They are disposable cars.
Been a Kia tech for years and we knew this for a long time and was ignored when we brought this to their attention!
I hope you get in on the class action lawsuit. That's pretty bad.
I was considering buying a Kia sportage, now I don't.
Too bad you couldn't say anything about it or you'd be fired... Look at Boeings airplane manager safety guy or whoever tf he was... Found dead in his car smh
but it's not a Kia problem...
Wild to find out that not all 2000+ or so cars have immo system
It was only a matter of time before people realized kia's only anti-theft was being bland.
Skurt
Them stinger parts expensive. Imjs.
100% right on this.
"Kia, the anti theft is in the design"
Ha ha 10 points for the awesome comment
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.
watch for them ghetto boys they'll steal your bike too
More likely it was a Kia and didn’t start
I have a manual too and that's kind of what I'm counting on might install it immobilizer now cuz I just bought a Kia Soul
@@MagicBoy445 oofffff idk why you would JUST buy a Kia this has been a thing for months your just asking to get you car stolen 🤣 hood luck
@@ryanmurphy2089 INSURANCE Moneyyyyyy......and you know where insurance pays from....pockets of others.
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.
I had to pay $1200 out of pocket to fix just the window on my car and the ignition is still damaged. After I pay my Hyundai off i'm done with cars and getting me a motorcycle.
@DaTrillion. Did you have insurance on your car? Full coverage would have paid for all that
@@irulan9161 Yeah I do have it, but I pay $550 a month and my deductible is already at $1,000. It's only high because of an accident from 2022 that wasn't even my fault.
@@DaTrillion just buy a Toyota or Honda, im looking at new Corollas. They all have immobilizers standard. Hyundai and Kia both lost me as a customer. I drive a 2013 Hyundai Accent and I have to be diligent where I park it. Its so annoying.
@@dylanash2569 Too late now
Laughing at the stress and hardships this has caused the victims of these Kia BUMS is absolutely insane. Even making and posting this video is extremely insensitive! It's all fun and games until its you or someone you care about.
This happened to me yesterday in CT, and I am devastated. These kids have no idea the damage and stress they are causing people.
It happened to my mother a couple days ago, she’s devastated
And they don't care because they're punk asses. But time and life are gonna catch up to them.
They know, they just don't care. Most of these kids have zero empathy or compassion. They aren't able to think of anyone but themselves.
My Hyundai was broken into last night. They destroyed the ignition system and tore up the dash. They weren't able to start the car. But now I can't drive.
they don’t care at all i had my car took in august and still don’t have it back
Sorry to hear it! I know how violating it feels when someone so much as touches your stuff, let alone steals it. Let's not just be victims, though. Let's scream as loud as we can that we're not taking this on the cheek. Let's join the class action suit.
Craziest thing to me is that they're charging for the kit and installation when it's completely and utterly their own screw up
Is it though? Don't get me wrong, I understand they they are super-douches for squeezing buggers out of Lincolns nose.... But there is no regulation stating that vehicles have to have passive anti-theft immobilizers. It would be totally different if someone could argue in court that the car was represented has having advanced anti-theft systems, then it would be their screw up.
@@vandersnickmcduffle7333 sounds like it needs to be legislated like it is in canada. Insurance companies are taking note of these issues too, so rates for "cheap" kias could soon become outrageous.
@@vandersnickmcduffle7333 I mean yeah, they should, look at it this way, TikTok is a big app, this is getting traction, people are going to start getting scared, they're going to be looking for solutions, find out that Kia is charging to fix the problem unlike the other brands, people can't do shit about so Kia wins... Except people are going to go to the internet and are going to start complaining, other people start learning about this stuff and then boom, Kia gets a really bad reputation, which in the long run will hurt sales and also like the guy before me said, it will make insurance companies to increase their rates on Kia cars just to be safe, which will also hurt sales because people would not pay outrageous prices for a cheap car.
That's the reason why car brands always make recall as soon as a problem gets found with any of their models it can hurt sales later.
@@amanasd26 I would agree 110%. I was surprised that it wasn't regulation when I went looking for it.
@@dkrampage2933 I don't disagree, and I'm sure Kia Motors of America sees it that way as well. Doubt Korea sees it like that though. And they ultimately call the shots.
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.
Fatherless Behavior, Social media and Prosecutors that don't hold criminals accountable are a bad combination.
Love your profile pic.
Real
Usual Suspects 😂
In Europe, an immobiliser is also mandatory. Didn’t know it wasn’t in America and car manufacturers also cheaping out on them lol
UK mandatory sine 1998 all cars sold must have immobiliser
I actually can't believe that they don't put immobilisers in their cars in the US. There's 25+ year old cars that already have chipped keys, so it can't be that expensive nowadays!
You would think so, but when you are trying to nickel and dime your customers, putting chips in the keys adds probably like $1 so therefore that’s $1 you save by not including it.
Ever heard of CAPITALISM?
2001 ford ka 1.3 had chiped keys as did 2000 1.1 micra .
2015 model cars have it
Wtf, my car has rear crank windows (remember those?), it didn’t even came with electric locks, and still has a chipped key from factory
Ah yes tiktok, humanity’s failure, embarrassment, and disappointment, all in one.
Glad you're on the normal side of the anti Tik-Tok gang. Yeah, this is the incompetence of lawmakers that they let it slide, Trump could've sent Tik-Tok to the Gulags. Manipulation, Inciting a Crime, Gross Negligence, and Fruad.

Please help me report this video to TH-cam and your local police
As far as I know Hyundai and Kia both have immobilizers in Europe since it's mandatory all the way from 1998. It's crazy they cheap out by not factory fitting them in the US.
This video just made me genuinely sad. Thieves suck. I feel terrible for those owners.
Some people don’t buy vehicles because of a really small flaw. They did there research and understood they were not going to like that specific car…. If you left a car dealership talk you out of 25 - 40k for a car I’m not surprised you didn’t do research on the vehicle they sold you non the less
It's no joke. Happened to my partners kia last night at our apartment. He had personal projects that meant a lot to him in that car.
@@abrahamperez8565 MOST consumers have terrible locks even on their homes (which both cost more and house family, which is arguably more important). I was picking house locks since diapers... Now with $20 you can buy a bumpgun and pretty much anyone is getting into your house in just a few seconds.
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)
These people are a blight on society. To think we went out of our way to ship these people here for cheap labor.
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.
I genuinely cannot believe that there were cars being sold in 2021 in the US without factory immobilisers.
I guess one could buy a Canadian model
with a factory immobiliser & learn km/hr.
Me too, I thought it was basic equipment just like having airbags or abs brakes. The US is a joke
Yet only kia and Hyundai didn't do it.
@@lupusdeum3894 In the US new model cars have the option to switch between MP/H and KM/H, does Canada not have cars with that option?? I'd assume they would depending on the manufacturer, but I don't live in Canada, so was curious based on your comment.
@@linkthelegend01 All cars in Canada have both sets of speed display options
Unfortunately because of all of this I cant even get car insurance for my Kia. So thank you so much...for the inconvenience
2:18 I can't help myself I watched it 50 times😂😂😂😂
I was dying at the Gurty part. It's unfortunate for anyone to get their car stolen but the mustard color kia soul made it a little easier to laugh about
Sure did.
Especially when said gurty was off roading
The yellow soul rocking through the yard had me cracking up
But maybe thats what she could afford...
Kia should gift her a brand new mustard yellow soul.
I like Kia's response "Thieves gon' thieve, shame on them. Have a good one"

@Joey The "NINO" Burrito blast em
The laughing about Gurdy 😂😂😂
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.
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.
Not to mention the security issues in older vehicles which prompted the smart keys to be designed had metal steering column components so they were far more difficult to overcome with brute force.
This design is an embarrassment to Kia and they deserve everything that's happened.
I work in a KIA service department and people are always calling and asking about this.
Why? We still have these kinds of fail with Kwikset and MasterLock, who only make locks...
i can Kia has always been and will always be the worst to me
Cars of yester year also had their cylinder assemblies in metal brackets not plastic. Which could still be broken but required more effort to do. Still nothing compared to old fords with the steal me junction (solenoid) in the engine bay and the hood without an interior latch.
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."
They don't work They can be taken off in less than 30 seconds. All you do is hacksaw the steering wheel right next to the club lock pull the club off But they already know alarm with a immobilizer to the fuel pump At the end of the day it's the insurance companies that pay then they pass the cost onto the consumer
I think the blame should go both ways. If people weren't stealing because of what they saw on socially media, this wouldn't be happening (as much) as well as if Hyundai Kia put in mobilizers this also wouldn't be happening. However they 100% should be taking the blame regardless.
@@JamarD421 Yeah, of course both parties are to blame.
I just thought it was amusing that after a shortcoming in their design was discovered and exploited; instead of offering to remedy their short-sighted design choice with an immobilizer, they instead just offered a bandaid solution that can also be easily bypassed with a pair of bolt-cutters.
Maybe you oughta blame crime on the criminals. Just a thought.
That's what a sane society would do.

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 live in a very small Arizona town. I just received a letter from Kia about this challenge. I had heard of it about a year ago. Kias letter was offering me a free steering lock device. I ordered it, and a few days later I got a "club" steering wheel lock. Ha! Hilarious! Great "fix" Kia.
whats hilarious about? is the "club" steering wheel lock bad?
I feel bad for that lady. Being made fun of on the internet over her grief is saddening me.
I know Gurty was so beautiful
Let us have a moment of silence for Gurty🙏🏼 May I offer you an egg during these trying times?
Why haven’t judges given them harsh times the they just kids mess need to go out the window give them real adult time
My first day on the internet was kind of rough too
Gurty is a terrible name.
Crazy... I’m an appraiser for an insurance company and we literally just had a meeting two days ago letting us know to expect a sharp rise in claims involving stolen Kia’s/Hyundai’s. We were not aware about the “Kia Boys” challenge though.
*Edit* There are so many appraisers per insurance company and so many different insurance companies out there that not one single insurance company is taking the entire brunt of this trend so yeah. When you consider how many claims get submitted per day for a ton of different types of reasons, it takes a lot for things like this to start making a dent. However that doesn’t mean we’re just now seeing these claims. Oh we’ve been seeing them. We just didn’t know why these vehicles were suddenly being targeted besides the fact that they’re easy to steal. I mean, if they’re that easy to steal then why has this only been going on for a few months and not years? Thanks to Donut, now I know the “why” side of it. Hard to follow car trends on TikTok when you don’t have TikTok I guess.
I would have opened with Kia Boyz in that meeting/presentation.
Well now you’ve got the “inside scoop”
Hop on the next promotion you can😂
Time to get a raise boyyyyy
Honeslty this is such an oversight on hyundai and Kia's part that the insurance companies should sue them for the damages they have to pay out.
Hella late lmao
I'm surprised this is just now a thing. My grandfather owned a junk yard and taught how to hot wire (threatened to hang me by my toes if I ever did it outside the yard) when I was 10. KIA were my favorite because they were so easy 15 years later nothings changed.
Damn it's a shame nothing has changed at all

2:05 Who gives their cars a name? I'm of the same mind as The Hound when it comes to naming swords.
With the sheer stupidity of Tik Tok. I'm surprised they were even able to figure this out.
it didnt start off as a tik tok trend. it became one due to how common it became
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.
my kia starts with a button lol
I was thinking the same about the needle nose pliers...

@@HappyDude1 with the right person, a Kia would still promote that

When I heard about this, I thought the USB thing was about hooking the car up to a phone with some app people found online that targets Kia, I didn't think it was using it as a "key"!
Idk why people were lying about that, maybe to deter people from doing it?
Could also use some long nose pliers, but if you don't own a screwdriver odds are you don't own pliers either :-)
It looks like any usb would work. The tendency to use iPhone ones shows iPhone users are bigger losers than other cell phone users. 😉
Almost same here. I thought they had found a way to jump the circuit using the USB cable from the USB charger port to the ignition switch. Far be it from me to actually go watch a video and find out. Don't own one. Don't want one. DGAF

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.
I haven’t left my apartment complex in 23 days. I’m disabled & can walk. I can’t afford a rental. I’ve canceled doctors appointments, including a pt appointment for my teenager. I can’t get to the laundromat, I’m paying delivery fees I don’t need for groceries.

Yup that was certainly a DGAF fix. Heres A kit for $170 + labor to install for something you should have had built into the cars in the first place. All To save like $25 in the manufacturing process.
Recall for what? Did they represent that the vehicle had an immobilizer? Or are we going full Karen and stating the vehicle should be recalled because you don't like something about it.
Sorry, I get that Hyundai/Kia was EXCESSIVELY cheap here, and they suck for it. But there is no defect, no non-compliance, and to my knowledge, no misrepresentation.
Or maybe the government should just have better education system
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 😂
Did they catch the Kia boy? I’d be willing to bet they didn’t
Update?
@@JFTSwiertz hey! The cops couldn’t find our Kia :/
@@theasiang0d no arrests have been made :/
i remember back when i was a kid in the 90's you could open up any hatchback rear door on any Hyunday Pony, with a screwdriver or even a butter knife, it would literally take 2 seconds... You still needed to know how to hotwire a car in order to steal it, but still, a lot of thieves would just pop up the back and steal whats in the car.
Its crazy that kids are doing this for fun, meanwhile you get caught stealing a car its a serious felony..
Thats the whole issue... In a lot of places its not a felony anymore
All my old cars I rewired to be the same color
i’m from milwuakee, y’all don’t understand how often this happens. another reason why they do it is because if they do get caught, they only get charged with a misdemeanor and get out of jail like a few days later. keep in mind these are kids as young as 14 to grown adults. i recommend watching the tommy g documentary on the kia boys for more information
Can confirm. Got my ride nabbed yesterday. Went out to go visit a friend, realized my car wasn't there. I got camera footage of it, and I got a police report filed. But my God. Never again is this company gonna get my cash, never again.
Did you laugh and laugh and laugh knowing those rascally "Kia boys" got ya? I'm sure it was hilarious!
won't you get some money from the insurance?
@@nemesiszz If you have "full coverage". If you don't, they only cover the other person's vehicle if you are in an accident and it's your fault. Theft is not covered if you have a "limited liability" policy. It is the cheapest insurance, so many people select to get that policy.
cops don't do shit, think your car is coming back to you???
@@T_bone that’s sad asf
The dude's comment @2:02 was priceless!
Can’t wait for the Kia boys to meet the Glock boys 😂
As someone from Milwaukee, where this has been a thing for *years,* I'm so glad this is getting more coverage because it's BAD. I've had people I know have their cars stolen 3+ times.
Every time a kia?
@@RGV2300 Kias and Hyundais, yeah. "The Kia Boys" have been around for awhile here, and within the last 6 months or so it's picked up in other cities.
Give them this tip: When Parking up for the night pop the hood and pull the fuse for the fuel pump and put it in your house somewhere til you need to drive next👍 Cant go anywhere without fuel, and I doubt if the car wont start that theyre gonna go trying to fix it for you lol. Before you set off again, pop it back in and off you go, its like a 30 seconds job. Used to do it with my motorcycle, it got stolen twice and each time it was literally around the corner from my house where they dumped it cos they wheel it away silently somewhere they can start it, only they couldnt start it! So would just abandon it. I Found it kinda funny tbf
@Ds0661 hidden killswitches are still an option, but obviously won't stop the car from being targeted in the first place.
@Ds0661 If you’re still in Canada then your car has the thing that prevents them from being stolen en mass. You should be all good.
I'm here because this happened to me today as well! Got a Kia Soul as a grad present a few years ago. 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 guess you never really think it can happen to you, until it does.
Did you learn them from JJ Bittenbinder? Sorry I saw street smarts and went straight to John Mulaney 😅
Don't ever buy a Kia again.
@@1HeatWalk Not planning on it. I’m now part of the VDub Club.
My Kia soul plus (2018) was my first new car I ever bought by myself.. it was stolen Friday.. leaving me and my 2 kids stranded all weekend.. made me miss two days of work- half a paycheck.. even w full coverage insurance.. I had to pay $175 for the tow.. wait 3 days for a rental due to being the busiest time of year for rentals in Vermont due to foliage.. finally got it today h went to see my car.. it’s wrecked basically.. all scratched and coming apart in places.. they broke my sunglasses just because.. stole my 5 years old metal baseball bat.. the one thing he cared about when he learned mommy’s car was stolen.. I’m a struggling mom and this crippled me even more.. months before Xmas.. I’m so defeated.. no matter how hard I work, how hard I try.. how good of a person I am.. I have the worst luck.. car thefts don’t happen where I live.. they do now all the sudden cuz the moron kids can’t seem to use their brains or think for themselves.. they follow trends because that’s all the know how to do is follow.
Hope the tide pod challenge comes back quick.
Locking your car, rolling the windows up, and not leaving your keys in it is not "street smarts", it's common sense.
Someone tried stealing my 2014 Kia Forte in June but apparently got stymied by its stick shift. Now I have to use a stubby screwdriver to start it, making me feel like I'm stealing it.
I know it is little bad to laught, but god damn I laughed like crazy on this part 2:25 hahahahah I imagined that Gurty is live and Kia boys are doing crazy stuff to Gurty hahaha
Can confirm. My kia was stolen about a month ago. Never found. My insurance isn’t the best so they pretty much paid out kia for me and now I’m struggling to get another car. Insurance seems to think this is how it was stolen since my make and model fell under the vulnerable ones.
Ugh that sucks, I'm sorry that happened to you
@Transitive Wisdom yeah I was about to say I wouldn't call my Stinger GT exactly slow 😦
@Paul had an 01 camry, left the window open at one point for hours when I was at work, luckily no one did anything lmao. Doubt anyone want to steal a camry.
@Transitive Wisdom You realize that newer Kias and Hyundai's are co-designed by the former head of research and technology at BMW's M division, right? The Kia Stinger GT is basically an M3, and all the Hyundai N cars are basically other BMW models, minus all the usual BMW BS.
@@Caffeinated-DaVinci just cause one guy that used to work at bmw now works at hyundai doesn't mean their cars are "basically" bmws now haha. they are still trash boxes
So here’s the immediate engineering issues I see.
First issue:
The lock body housing isn’t metal.
Second issue:
The lock cylinder release pin ***SHOULD NOT*** allow release of the cylinder until the proper matching key in inserted. That definitely does NOT meet motor vehicle regulations.
It's kias and hyundais, they aren't known for their well engineered cars lmao they break down a lot due to them using the cheapest parts.
Excellent Observation. As Locksmith I watched and said impossible as the pin does not depress unless the key is turned to the acc position. They did it for likes. but cant fool a lock tech
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.
Sounds like your sister has bad karma
100% agree. That shit is comedy GOLD
My wife and I were in the hospital for a kidney swap ,when we came home we noticed our kia soul had been stolen. She was so disappointed and crying, the car was recovered . They destroyed it. If I would have been home, it would have been a bad day for them.
I am in the same boat encephalitis of my brain and all my meddical forms were in my car.
As a kia technician that deals with these weekly, this is amazing
It amazes me how much of a screw up Kia has on their hands. Not even a steering lock. Cars, even cheap ones, have had that for decades…
@@angelgjr1999 My 1996 E36 has a steering lock but they dont lol
@@angelgjr1999 when u can buy a brand new car for under $10k what do u expect. Most push button vehicles don't have steering wheel locks if u haven't noticed. Steering wheel locks are mostly mechanical so if u only have a push button they generally never lock the steering shaft.
if your flat-rate and installing those kits all day i believe you lol
@@angelgjr1999 i dont know the specifics of these cars, but he did remove the entire lock in the video, if you do you usually dont have a steering lock afterwards
Please don't blame the engineers for this problem! Most of the time it's a business decision the engineers aren't too happy about.
ngl though, Nolan laughing about Gurty wobling on the grass makes me laugh too. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
same bruh I was weak the car looked funny asf
I have a Kia and was super worried about getting mine stolen because car thefts aren’t uncommon where I live, so I bought a steering wheel lock that clicks into by seatbelt. SUPER convenient, and I’m pretty sure it had already deterred a potential thief! I had my window shattered a week ago but my car is still here! Def recommend for anyone else nervous about losing their car
Edit: Just want to give an update cause somehow people are still seeing my 9 month old comment…yeah my car got stolen. Like a couple months after making this comment. Clipped my seatbelt buckle right off and drove off, ended up totaling the car. Ended up being a blessing in disguise though since my insurance ended up giving me WAY more than what my car was actually worth so I could afford a nicer car.
So long story short your Kia will never be safe. Get rid of the damned thing
Mfers will cut your seat belt!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody was wearing one in any video I've seen 🤣🤣🤣
They are still stealing the Cars with the steering wheel locks on them, consider yourself lucky for now.
@@kmaloof1405 Yep, they just cut chunks out of the steering wheel to get the lock off.
Pop your hood and take your starter relay out when you're not using it. Without the relay, it won't even start with the key plus it's free where a lock is not.
@@aaronisnotalive but your window is still broken
Maybe I'm getting old, but I remember seeing the video with Gerty and the 3(?) other Kias a couple weeks ago and just being irritated by it. Insurance never truly makes you whole if your vehicle is totaled and even if your vehicle is repaired, you're without one while you wait and there could be damage you don't discover until it becomes a problem years down the road. Sucks that it became a trend for tiktok
Yeah. I don't think it has anything to do with being old. Just shows immaturity laughing at someone's real life struggle. I don't hate the guys for laughing, I just think they haven't grown up all the way yet. And it's sad and frustrating to watch.
I’m 17 and I hate the videos too, just criminals getting unnecessary clout…
Even if they do a great job repairing it the cars value will drop by a lot once it has been in a collision. It's hard enough to maintain and keep your car nice without some worthless asshole stealing it. There's a nice warm place in hell reserved for thiefs.
Right. Deductibles are a thing. The owners are still out of pocket by maybe $500-$1,000 because of these a*holes.
@@jondoe4667 Yeah, this is just going to raise the price of economy cars for everyone. Awesome....
Love this episode!!! Was suggested I watch so what did I do? I clicked it cuz it’s Donut!
As a boy, whose father has owned a kia, knows how to hotwire a car, doesn’t have a car and yet somehow knows to drive a car, i find this as a win win.
Jerry already knew all this. Everyone from Florida learns how to steal cars and syphon gas in the 4th grade.

Same with Portland Oregon. And New York. And Chicago. And Detroit. And Minneapolis. And L.A.
Alright but on the real....between lockpicking and hotwiring... He is quite skilled.
gotta remember he's only 21 though
2015-2021 is such a long range of cars and still so new. Someone probably saved up to buy their brand new Kia last year just to now have it be looked at as a joy ride.
Save up a little more and don't buy a kia or hyundai as they are utter trash.
My Hyundai Accent was just stolen the other day in San Diego. Just bought it two weeks ago. Hadn’t even made my first monthly payment and now it’s someone’s joy ride. FML
@@dooby4scooby76d3sorry for laughing
My Kia was stolen in Orlando 2 feet away from my window beween 3 am and 6 am. my doctor documents were in my car. I have to bother my family 2 towns over to help me out. I moved out of Orlando yesterday. i'm looking at cars now and can't afford down payment.
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.
Or a mopar of any sort
I don't no who would want a Kia or Hyundai in the First place but here we are 😂✌
Thieves often just steal what's most convenient. If your car is harder to steal than one down the block then yeah they'll still steal something but it won't be yours, and at the end of the day that's all you can do as an owner.
I think Kia and Hyundai receive too much unnecessary hate. Want a reliable, no frills a to b car? They are your answer. 10 year warranty from factory is more than anyone gives, and I’ve had mine for multiple years with no issues other than regular oil changes etc. Not to mention at the fraction of a price of its competitors.
Sure, it’s not exciting. But as a daily to get you to where you want to go reliably? It’s perfect.
Ignore the fact that I just traded it in for a truck, that’s a different story 😂
@@lJADU Agreed, both my and my wife drive a Hyundai. She drives a 2007 and I have a 2012. We both had zero issues and will buy another when it dies. I live in an area that getting car stolen is unlikely, but I did install an aftermarket alarm that interrupts the starter circuit when armed. I prefer having no immobilizer, spare keys cost $4 vs $50, I don't have to install a bypass kit with the alarm, and one less thing that can malfunction.

I remember when the Immobilizer laws were coming in in Canada. A lot of people were upset by them because they thought it was Government over reach and wasn't needed. The insurance companies paid for the immobilizers mind you, but a good portion at the beginning weren't happy, especially as owners of certain models (in my Province atleast) wouldn't be able to renew their insurance until they agreed to have the immobilizer installed.
Well, If the law was applied only for new cars from that era I can agree. But yes, forcing you to install an immobilizer in order to have insurance sounds like a bit too much
Isn't that the general consensus these days when the government introduces something to help people? And when it works everyone who was against it either goes quite or jumps on the bandwagon, sad to see people think they are important enough to assume the government wants to control them.
Why not just require all new cars with immobilizers instead? Are the people shouldering the cost?
I remember back in the 90s my buddy had a firebird with a computer chip u had to plug in to start it lol
I had my car stolen today. I don't know if I'll ever get it back and now I don't know what I'm going to do since I can't afford another car right now. I really wish I had my car back. I worked hard to save up that money and they just don't care. I hope no one else experiences this.
