Kia Boyz TikTok challenge sparks vehicle thefts with USB cable 

I feel like everyone affected by this should directly get another car from kia, because that's ridiculous how easy it is

Where are the "Kia Parents" smh!!

"The fruit of their low life labor"

They should try the "Get a Job" Challenge

You all who has your car stolen you all need to do a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer. They're not trying to be responsible for this and they are.

I saw an article today on Google that the class-action lawsuits are piling up and that there are now 7 states that are suing lying Kia/Hyundai. 🙂

Ridiculous!! TikTok doesn’t want you to use foul language, but they allow these videos to be shown to the public!!! SO STUPID!!

They need to get rid of tiktok Get rid of it

If you’re gonna do a challenge about stealing a car, at least make it the “Ferrari challenge”.

They got my Kia Wednesday morning. Wish I knew about this tik tok trend.

That's and incredible lack of accountability on Hyundai/Kia, it's not an oversight, every car company is aware of their existence, and they had them previously. So it was a calculated "risk" they assumed as a cost cutting measure, unfortunately they won't be footing the bill, only the owners who decided to trust them will pay the cost. Post the bulletin, advise caution, recall, compensation campaign for effected individuals, apologize for sacrificing safety and security for profit margins. This really can't be understated, this is just one thing that we caught, and may be indicative of other things, or future things. They should definitely lose face over this.

Happened to me last night at work . I was shocked because I never heard of this being a thing lately. Someone stuck a Bobby pin in my ignition and I know I locked the doors. Now I’m parking in front of work.

So Kia made this flaw then is profiting from the insurance claims to fix it. So I can see why they're not in any hurry for a fix. Not surprising since they still have cars including the new telluride that can randomly bust into flames. So you're telling folks to park near their homes to avoid the car being stolen but Kia is telling you not to for models bcse they can catch fire. UNBELIEVABLE!!! 😫

That’s great to hear, I have a Kia and a Hyundai 😀

Gotta use the old school way lock the wheel with the lock

My sisters was stolen while she was at work very sad she works hard for the things she has and now all there doing is giving her a rental for 20 days then she will have to car to get her 4 children back and forth to school so very sad smfh

My son's KIA was stolen 2 days ago out of his driveway!!!! In the morning around 6 a.m. Police didn't even come out. 😒 but it only had 30 miles on the tank of gas. Haha but still. We work hard for these dead beats to come take something.

You gotta love it. Media participates in spreading this ne’er-do-well behavior.

My 2002 Lexus RX has an immobilizer. It too Kia 20 years to figure this out? Junk! There will be a massive recall and retrofit- just watch.

Can tik tok be sued for allowing this info to be shared freely?

So sad. I just realized she’s missing part of her arm! Just don’t steal because you never know who you’re stealing from. Thou shall not steal. -Heavenly Father

And now 4 teens are dead, and a 16 year old ruined his life. Brilliant

Heavy car theft areas might have to take it back to the Club. If you never heard of that.... It's a device that you put across your steering wheel. This was a very popular item in NYC in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s.

So why not just be an engineer. And law enforcement should’ve followed those criminals after that interview.

Parents? Hello..parents? Anyone? Bueller???

Come on, Kia. She needs her car back. Give her a hand.

Wow and people wonder why kids are getting shot at for stupid shit adults don’t take kindly to having there hard earned vehicles stolen. Honestly if I saw someone trying to steal my car and it was a kid. It’s his choice he made if he wants to die let him!!!

My 2019 KIA SOUL was stolen 9/7/22 out my driveway I had no ideal until the police officer told me ...

I thought that lying Kia said that they fixed the problem starting with the 2022 models. 😠

My car was in well lit area at my job at 4p when it was vandalized I have 2020 but in video the lady had 2022 ...I thought newer vehicles have immobilizer

my 2018 elantra was stolen this past Saturday, I am SICK!

Damn. Who would want a Kia or Hyundai???

Thats why i love my 04, montero limited, 04 bmw x3, 03 e46

I have a 2019 model, but it has a push button, wonder if this still could happen

Smh. Amazing that they wouldn't just include the immobilizer on all cars. I love my 21 Forte GT. Thankfully it is a model that has one...

Don't have this problem in Canada. What's the missing ingredient?

Last night 5 kids were caught by the cops in the middle of the act trying to do this. 😂

How did they figure that out

Definitely changed my mind about Kia. It's 2022. Push to start only

DO NOT BUY A KIA OR HYUNDAI and they can keep them on their dealership lots.

wow 2022 car that didn't have it unreal! my 2018 car came standard

This is happening big time in cincinnati as well.

Kia said I think only models after ‘18 can be stolen like this.Yearss & still yr ‘22 USB stolen! NO to Kia, Hyundai just=🤯

LOOK UP IF YOUR KIA HAS AN IMMOBILIZER!!!! (IF YOU HAVE THE LX OR LX SEAT PACKAGE TRIM)

How can human beings dehumanize themselves like this because these animals are longer human. 😠

Im so sick of these little degenerates and those who gave rise to them. Working 40+ hrs a week just to have someone lurking around and looking to take what they can from others makes me have improper thoughts that I cant carry out.

The way he said "Sportage" makes me want to head butt a wall

Best believe Toyota would have done something to fix everyones car...for free

The red Kia shown in the picture was not a 2022. The only models affected are from 2010-2021

is this just hotwiring using the usb charger. Maybe dont tell people how to hotwire on the news.

I think the guy that was blurred is my co worker. I didn’t think it was even happening in my city.

4 kids in Buffalo, NY just got killed this morning doing this (ages 14-17).

Damn man. Imagine having your car stolen after paying an arm or a leg for it. What a shame...

Put GPS trackers on them.

how was the original video not reported and taken off of tik tok promoting ppl to steal cars?

I keep seeing these videos popping up and have noticed a VERY obvious similarity to all of the criminals. LOL

Meanwhile Canadian cars have immobilizers required by law, car won’t start without key transmitter. Kia and Hyundai didn’t add it onto their U.S. models to save costs

Snitching on ya self 😂😂

I blame the car manufacturers. To allow some punk kids to out smart college graduates laughable. The laws need to be tougher to put these lowlife hoodlums in prison 😡

Fuel pump cut off switch installed under dash . . Problem solved Or you could take your fuel pump fuse out when parking for the night .

The producer of this video should be sued as well for producing and showing all these young people how to steal a Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

how do all those cars not have an immobilizer??

If you have a Kia. I suggest you buy the old school “club” and put it on your steering wheel

God, of course this spawned from TikTok...

Honestly at this rate, people should install Cameras In The car and a GPS Tracker

Good thing my Gennisis has a push to start...

Let's go who wants to cruise it 😂

🤬😡Esto me molesta tengo Kia y Hiunday de otros años pero esto me preocupa🤔

Take a tire off when you park it

Some kids wrecked my steering column and ignition trying to steal my KIA even though I have the imobilizer. The damage came to $2,500 even though they weren't able to start it.

Good luck doing this to mine: Revelco Anti-Theft Device FTW!

wait, do these kia’s not have the security key chip in their fobs?

Tic Talk is a publisher and should be liable for damages that happen due to their videos.

I leave my x3(manual) with the keys in with keys it. They don even try

This is why I’m happy with my Altima

Bruh. Yo really left his finger prints and gotta clear picture of his eyes. They gone catch yo frl

This is why I always get full insurance

Lmao social media is gonna be the downfall of mankind

My 2007 vw has a immobilizer

Now they doing it in Ohio. I'm buying my steering wheel lock. And I might buy 2 of them.

What was that thing he ripped off?

When you park your car just pull the main fuse.

Social media does more harm than good.

Damn, yall did a great job hiding his identity, smh

What?? Is it normal for US cars not to have immobilisers?? Been driving in the UK for 15 years and never once encountered a car without one. Even cars built in the 90's.

Just install a hidden kill switch to the fuel pump fuse.. Easy peezy

If they say she was missing a arm the going in with gasoline draws. I didn't see it at first. That sucks anyone's car was stolen. They will get was coming.

Thank goodness my shit push to start

So when can we start suing hyundai?

Well with that tiktok, our hyundai 2016 was stolen yesterday Inside our apartment garage. 😡

I wonder if they can show you how to get a job or stay in school

They aren't going to give A Faak about their customers. Period

kia boyz stole that arm too

The boys need to be charged with every car theft they cause. What the hell is wrong with people today tic tic should be banned

I’m glad I don’t have a Kia or actually that I live in the Netherlands as when I see news about America it’s always crime related.

Somebody needs to sue Kia/Hyundai. 😠

Someone stole our car like broke the window and drived it far away then crashed it in to a very expensive car the they person hoped out and left the crime seen lol it’s so crazy and it was a Kia like this stuff is crazy we even caught the person on the neighbors ring camara the car was even paid off 😭😭😭

Install a kill switch my dudes and dudets.

“Tik tok” made me do it. That will be a defense. There is one theme with these stolen vehicles.

These so called kia boys should be sued or give a warrant of arrest by teaching thieves how to do it. I mean the mastermind is just right there got interviewed and so proud to show how to do it. 😂
