Are you saying Hyundai and Kia did this so the car is more easily modifiable? Are they known for making more repairable cars? Are they framework laptop of the car world? Or merely cheap carmakers who found the wrong corner to cut and save costs?
what I'm saying is that if you imagine the most reparable car in the world, it would inherently be easy to steal and thus subject to the same lawsuit being presented to Kia and Hyundai.
There is no relationship. I can take apart my front door including the lock without a problem, and it is still secure. Security is a property of the locked state, repairability a property of the unlocked state.
no it is not. the fact that you can take apart your front door makes it inherently easier to get into your house vs. a door that could not be disassembled.
I’m wondering if you can explicitly say what about including an immobilizer in the north American market inherently makes those vehicles less repairable than their immobilizer-equipped counterparts in other markets.
