Consumers have a certain level of expectations for any car or product. Everyone assumes the car is going to function as car and be reasonably safe to be operate. We all expect the doors to stay on, the seats to stay in place, and part should not just fall of at random. We expect it to start and get us to a paved road destination every single time. Everyone expects the key means only the people who posses the key can use the vehicle. No one expects that a pro can't steal it, but a teenager with no experience or practice stealing cars can steal it in seconds with no key easier than stealing a bicycle. Almost criminal level of bad design and engineering.
