Certain Hyundai and Kia models saw a 10-fold increase in thefts in just the past three years, a wildly dramatic increase in the wake of a series of social media posts showing people how to steal the vehicles.
Chevy had vehicles kill people by trying to save pennies on an ignition part that holds the key in. The ignition key would fall out causing accidents because the steering, airbags and so on would get disabled at that critical point. They knew about it and tried to cover it up which internal documents revealed and had a slap on the wrist.
They do install immobilisers as standard?
Oh wait, just not in that one country that doesn’t require it lol
You can always count on corporations to do the right thing because of the profit motive, right? /s
Honestly if there had not been this much fallout this quickly, you would have seen at least one other manufacturer do the same thing.
