>In a statement, Kia said it has distributed more than 23,000 locks so far and would continue providing locks to affected owners.
In large cities the widespread ease at which these cars are stolen results in numerous high speed chases and lost lives. It sounds like they are continuing with the low-tech and opt-in approach requiring owners to use a special lock or initiate the fix on their own at the dealer which is unacceptable.
Not a great response from Hyundai and Kia.
