Since purchasing the vehicle, it has been stolen three separate times. During at least one theft, the steering column was damaged to bypass the ignition, and responding officers indicated the theft method was consistent with the widely reported Kia theft method. I had possession of my keys during the incidents. The repeated thefts created a significant safety risk, financial loss, and left me without reliable transportation. I am concerned the vehicle\u2019s theft-deterrent system did not provide reasonable protection against unauthorized operation. Police reports were filed for each theft, and the incidents have been reported to Kia. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA can evaluate whether this vehicle\u2019s anti-theft system presents a safety-related defect or warrants further investigation.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SOUL","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
