Narrative

My car was stolen on June 30th 2023 due to the kia tik tok challenge. The officer at LMPD says is common. There were lots of kias in the impound lot! My car did not have standard antitheft installed. The car has body damage and the steering coloumn is trashed. From the theft This was a suprise to me. I had not notification from Kia about this trend. I was not offered software fix or steering wheel lock, which they say they are doing. I have had no contact from them. They have my address it has not changed. Now im left with a car I cannot drive. It also not covered for theft because of all the issues. This is the second time I have had major problems imobilzing the car. I had no use for 1.5 years and eventually a recall came in and they fixed. This car has been of the road more than on. I contacted the Kia dealership they refused to do anything. They told me to contact kia which i did online and by phone. Phone attmpt was unsuccesrull they just kept circling you around with key options and you would end up at the beginning again. I was able to file a report online, but its unclear of the solution it read someone would contact you. that has not happened
