I’ve finally decided to trade in my Kia for a Subaru. I’m tired of the anxiety of coming out to an empty parking spot in the morning. Really stupid decision by them to not install immobilizers as standard on all vehicles, and very poor and slow response to the issue. Never buying a Hyundai/Kia again, which is too bad because their cars look great.
Are you going to have to sell at a discount because of these issues? Couldn't you get an after market immobilizer installed?
But then there'd be no excuse to buy a new car
Nope, not exactly. Installing an immobilizer won’t stop my car from being a target. Even if they fail to steal it, I’ll still end up with a broken window and steering column. There are people who had their car broken into, fixed, and broken into again a few weeks later. Not to mention insurance rates being expensive because of it, and some insurance companies just straight up dropping you if you own an affected vehicle. I’ve been dropped/declined by 3 of the major insurers just because I own one, even though I had the security update installed.
Is that enough of an excuse to just buy a different car?
