Consumer Description

Extreme design flaw, and security subpar security measures on this vehicle. My car was stolen last night because Kia's have been easy to steal. These design flaws are posing significant safety measures. Not to mention inconvenience to myself and others who have to deal with contacting insurance, getting a rental, and or finding a new car. This needs to be fixed asap. Vehicle theft for Kia and Hyundai have been up over 2500% since this time last year! Recall your cars and fix it!!!! Because of this I will never lease another Kia again.
