Make Car Manufacturers responsible for financial loss due to keyless car theft
Hundreds of new cars in the UK are susceptible to "keyless theft". Thieves are increasingly using technology to bypass entry systems on keyless cars. Theft creates a huge cost to the owner emotionally and financially. Car manufacturers need to be held accountable for a flawed system.
Thieves have been using keyless theft for several years, but manufacturers continue to make new models that can be stolen in this way, meaning there is an ever-larger pool of vehicles for thieves to target," Which? said in a statement.
In the year to March 2018, more than 106,000 offences of theft of or unauthorised taking of a motor vehicle were reported to police in England and Wales - the highest annual total since 2009

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a matter for the courts.
You could start a new petition calling for an action that is the responsibility of the UK Government of Parliament, for example a ban on keyless entry cars in the UK, if that's something you'd like to happen.
There's a petition about keyless entry car security, which you might like to sign:
