As noted above, Kia and Hyundai vehicles take 5 of the Top 10 spots last year and this is due to the known vulnerability in the ignition systems of the Kia and Hyundai models. Having a Kia or Hyundai theft alone does not clear coverage or fraud concerns, as these vulnerabilities are widely known and shared through social media. Many fraudsters use this common trend to mask their nefarious activities. Remember, financial stress and mechanical failure lead the red flags associated with questionable vehicle theft claims.
