  1. Milwaukee Teens take down large automotive company.

  2. Remove main fuse problem solved

  3. She really knew a lot about the 70s, I'll give her that

  4. Lol, all the criminals are the same race.

  5. People should drop them. Because of how easy they steal from the customers!!!!!!!!!

  6. All of this, robbing shootings assaults', All of this, can be traced back to one single event back in the late 90's early 2k. when a few very foolish and uninformed people were in position and power to sway the nation courts into making laws that saw to the prevention of parents taking hard disciplinary acts to their children, sighting such acts were to be deemed as being Child abuse. measures that would prevent parents from taking traditional disciplinary acts upon their children as a measure to prevent them from unwanted behavior. I remember it being those people without childrren of their own pushing for laws that would see to parents seeing possible jail time if convicted for even the simplest of such acts. And it was then where this notion of 'Time-out' was to be a tool of corrects response to wayward children. And but shortly after that ruling. The violence of kids across the country escalated dramatically. We started seeing parents having the hardest time dealing with their wayward children. Toddlers running amuck in stores, punching and kicking their parents. And but shortly after that, came the shootings of the young in schools, And as that generation got older so did that generation and those proceeding saw to the nations dramatic rise in both crimes and shooting. Changes in mental stability and identity. A rise in crime assault theft all of the issues spiked. And we've been dealing with the fallout ever since. A bunch of fools with no insight, set loose generations of spoiled individuals. people without empathy. People without the mind and teachings that would see to themselves holding back from lifes temptations. we've seen spikes in aggression, and things like road rage, But none more so than mass shootings. which after those court ruling quickly became a near weekly event. never in our nations history have we seen such acts of sheer violence on a weekly basis. at least not in the sense on insensible acts of crime such as mass shootings. Spare the rod and spoil the child, but people didnt have a clue as to the extent of what a spoiled child could truly end up becoming. Those children are now adults with kids of t their own.. and now we see the fallout in the form of bad parenting and the results their in.

  7. I want to appreciate Dr.Aluda for giving me back my life again, I was diagnose of Genital Herpes for 2 years, after using Dr Aluda herbal medicine, I got cured. All thanks to Dr. Aluda I will be forever grateful to you sir⭐

  8. I also blame State Farm and progressive for leaving thousands of late model Kia and Hyundai owners in the middle of this! They could have worked something out with Kia and Hyundai before this decision. if there is a fix or something to prevent the car from being stolen.. reinstatement of coverage could occur.. i blame the insurance company’s also..

  9. Imagine that……a metal key is harder to steal

  10. bring back the manual transmission and kids cant steal them, because they cant drive stick.

  11. What about Dodge? Those scatpacks and Hellcats are hella easy steal smh

  12. You’re stupid if you buy a Kia or Hyundai

  13. They had their whole life ahead of them…….I think they mean they had their whole life behind them since they are no longer of the living.

  14. 1:42 50%+ of all Homicides & Robberies are done by African Americans despite being only 12% of the population (FBI Database).

    Found your problem. 🤔

  15. Korean cars should be ban altogether

  16. I own a Chevrolet suv I am glad I don't own a Hyundai In Kia vehicle

  17. Thats why you buy german cars, stop being cheap

  18. In this comments section: people that actually watched the video vs. people who just read the brand names in the title and think it's about manufacturing standards.

  19. Nice.
    I would never want to be seen in a Kia, KN, or Hyundai anyways.

  20. Rich how actuators can distinguish between Korean cars and all others based on stats they themselves set. What?

  21. "…a terrible loss for kids who had their whole lives in front of them."? Stealing cars in your teens is not a good sign of future prosperity or long life.

  22. people getting cheaper cars paying the price later. I stayed with my Honda and Toyota.

  23. Even with the “upgrades” your Kia or Hyundai will still be a target because thieves don’t know if your car was “upgraded”. Also your insurance will be expensive because the risk of being stolen will be higher.

  24. YOU SHOULD BE THIEVING A KIA FROM SOMERSET KIA SOMERSET KIA!!!!!!!

  25. So far, those brands have proven to be Junk when they left the factory.

  26. the truth is that the SAME models of cars had engine immobilisers as a matter of legislation in other countries like Germany, Finland, the UK, Australia and even Canada. The fact that the USA models did not have these features is just a cost-cutting, "build it to a price" mentality.

  27. Don’t really need to hear back from Hyundai, they the same company lol

  28. Luckily the Rio wasn't on there hit list

  29. Why would anyone want to buy a car knowing it can be easily steal

  30. I am shocked these companies are still in business: Kia, Hyundai
