    Anyone who owns a Kia or Hyundai without a pushbutton start is at risk. They need to know this and get new cars.

      New cars are huge expenses, not everyone is able to sell theirs for a discount and get a different one.

      The company should be responsible for fixing them properly.

      Yeah bro let me just

      get a new car during a time of rising car prices and cost-of-living expenses

      while also

      not being able to sell my car for a good price for both economic and moral reasons. No one wants to buy an easily-stealable car, and no one should SELL an easily-stealable car.

      It would be cheaper in most cases to just install a push-button start in your car than to buy a whole new car. You can easily find the kits online, and any place that can install a car alarm can install them if you don’t want to do it yourself.
