    Would a monster broadcast siren negate the massive rise in carjackings?

    1. If your vehicle doesn't have auto locking doors (when you put it into drive), lock them....even before you put your seat belt on.

    kia engine issues...really serious or overinflated?

    Is there a trend here...maybe...no...??? Going through all these posts...I beginning to think that all the issues people are having with Kia/Hyundai engines are with the 4 cylinders.
