Because it's a Hyundai. I'm not surprised one bit.
I mean, work on my Hyundai has been reasonably priced, considering that all dealerships charge way too much for service.
But can yours be stolen?
I mean anything can be stolen, but mine has a push button start and a manual gearbox, so at least here in the states I'm fairly safe.
I mean yeah, but have you heard of the Hyundai/Kia Thefts recently? They don't have immobilizers
Yeah but those are using the standard ignition switches, not the push start. They pull the dash down and are able to use a USB cause it's about the right size to turn the ignition cylinder from the inside. With a push button I don't have a cylinder to turn, that method won't work.
Hyundai without immobilizers that can be stolen aren't push button start ones, they're ones where you stick a USB flash drive into the wheel to get it to turn over
I know.
My Hyundai was stolen off my drive in mere seconds - I was kind of impressed watching it back on the doorbell cam footage.
Nope, it can't.
Cheaper to buy than the equivalent Japanese car, more expensive to repair than the equivalent European car. Buy a Hyundai 👍
