this is giving my flashbacks to the time I went to a local repair shop to fix the breaks on my car but shortly after, my car started making weird noises whenever I braked. I thought “ok maybe they messed up something in the repair. I’ll take it to a manufacturer dealership and they should be able to see what’s up.”
So after a few days of having no car, I got a ride back to the dealership only for them to tell me verbatim “that’s what you get for using aftermarket parts.” But don’t worry, at least they were able to install a security system, and by “security system” I mean they put fake alarm stickers on my windows and gave me a steering wheel lock.
Thanks hyundai, big fan of how you put a little plastic piece in the middle of the steering column that slowly degrades and is neigh-impossible to fix at home.
It wouldn’t be the first time I heard something like that about hyundai and kia. The expensive european brands even set you up with features like seat-heating that are locked under a subscription. Then there are privacy issues and in some cases security issues as well with a lot of modern cars.
Luckily my car is too old to be kia-boyed but that’s why they had the “security” “installed”
That is insane. I didn’t know they did stuff like that to old cars.
