I immediately went and bought a Kia because of this fuck up. I live in a rural area and hardly ever visit any kind of heavy suburban areas where this kind of issue is prevalent. If I do I find a good parking garage to use.

Because of all the stuff going on with KIA I was able to pick up a 2016 Kia Sorento EX with all the bells and whistles for 6k Uber KBB. It is hands down the nicest car I’ve ever owned.

  You could fix this problem pretty easily by just adding a hidden switch somewhere powering the ignition. Security through obscurity. Wouldn’t work for Kia but it’d work for you.
