• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

So apparently I thought it was only the non push start keys that can be stolen .
I guess I was wrong I know there is a 1 800 number out there for Calling for concerns about this for Kia does anybody have this number by chance ?
Mine is a 2020

“Kia America is aware of the rise in vehicle thefts of a subset of trim level vehicles in your area. As of the current 2022 Model Year, all Kia vehicles have an engine immobilizer fitted as standard. All Kia vehicles for sale in the U.S. meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,” the company said in a statement. “Kia customers with questions regarding their Kia vehicle should contact the Consumer Assistance Center directly at 1-800-333-4542 (4Kia).”
 
Does this really work!!!
There's no fool-proof way of locking your car up. It's all about deterrence. If someone's really determined to steal your car they'll bring a flatbed tow truck and be in/out while keeping under police response time.
