At least two major auto insurers are refusing to protect certain Kia and Hyundai models because they lack anti-theft common in today’s cars.
Both State Farm and Progressive confirmed they no longer write policies for some Kia and Hyundai models manufactured between 2015-2019.
Videos show people how to start the vehicles without keys, instead with the tip of a phone charger or USB cable. This has prompted youngsters to try and steal Kia and Hyundai vehicles for a joyride.
