At least two major automotive insurers are refusing to protect certain Kia and Hyundai models because they lack anti-theft common in today’s cars.

According to CTV News, both State Farm and Progressive confirmed they no longer write policies for some Kia and Hyundai models manufactured between 2015-2019.

Videos posted on social media show people how to start the vehicles without keys, instead with the tip of a phone charger or USB cable, and the trend has prompted juveniles across the U.S. to try and steal Kia and Hyundai vehicles to go for a joyride. The manufacturers are working through the thefts.
