Chicago Police are hoping the old-school device could solve a very new problem plaguing Hyundai and Kia owners in the city.
But Williams isn't too fond of his 2021 Kia sport-utility vehicle these days, because it keeps ending up getting stolen."Right off the block at my house," he said."I came outside and noticed glass is on ground, which was confirmation that my car had been stolen," Williams said.Right now, the steering column is getting fixed again for the new year, and it leaves Williams uneasy about parking his Kia again in the West Side's Austin community.
"It can raise a lot of different feelings that make you not even want a car anymore in the first place," he said."and I feel like for Kia, they should update their technology." Both Kia and Hyundai owners are in the same bind. Through Dec. 28, 2022, Chicago reported 21,087 car thefts – the highest we have seen in 16 years.And when you look at the top five car brands stolen in Chicago, Kia and Hyundai are neck-and-neck for the very top spot. There were 3,372 Kias and 3,351 Hyundais stolen last year through Nov. 25 in Chicago.
