Why Are Chargers, Challengers And Durangos So Easy To Steal?

[Marc]

For some time now, I have seeing on the net that a lot of Dodge products are very easy to steal. Does anybody here know anything about that? Is it maybe that the car thieves have discovered a way around transponder ignition systems? Could it be that the Dodge transponder key system has some sort of weakness?

Good question because they remain high on the lists of most stolen vehicles along with Jeeps.

Yes and Toyotas hyundai as well all you need is the programed computer to connect to OBD2 or instead of the existing car computer .
here how they do it in Russia you can put CC on and see what they saying and how EZ it is.

I don't know a thing about why Dodge products or Toyotas are easy, but I've heard that the Korean cars don't have encoder keys at all --so kids can start the cars with a screwdriver.

I'm guessing the Dodge's are just high-demand and/or high value for parts, so the thieves are highly motivated. I know they say that Prius catalytic converters are larger, so thieves like to go for those.
