MILWAUKEE (CNN) - A woman in Milwaukee says her Kia has been stolen three times, even after she installed a free security upgrade meant to prevent this crime from happening.

    No, there really was a “recall” where they notified drivers to bring cars to the dealership for some software patch to address the issue.

    My mom did it, and it broke her remote start function. So it did change something regarding starting, but apparently, it didn’t really fix the original problem.

      I’m a Hyundai owner, can say that I didn’t receive anything, when into dealership for all regular service early January, and I’m in the affected class. Nothing happened, no conversation about security - there was one about the engine catching fire and a notice that were supposed to park our cars outside until it can be inspected.
