In March of 2023, my 2016 kia Sorento was stolen in shorewood, wisconsin as several teenagers broke the window and ripped open the ignition system. Due to a design flaw in the ignition system and no immobilizer in kia vehicles that were created from 2011-2022, theft became very easy and a widespread problem ensued in the milwaukee area as well as other cities in the midwest. The vehicle was stolen by these teenagers and ultimately crashed and totaled. Law enforcement officials in milwaukee, WI were able to apprehend the teenagers but this was after they had crashed and totaled the vehicle.
