I have an ST and concerned with how easy it appears to be able to steal these cars using the OBD port. Needs to sorted ASAP as any ford owner will no have to seriously consider the additional cost of having a decent alarm fitted to prevent theft. Something that should be fitted from the factory really!!!

If Land Rover can issue a modification that stops this happening why have Ford not yet done so as of yet, so many ford's being stolen it's s joke. Ford engineering team really need to get this resolved.

I think its absolutely discussing that property can steal cars this simply and no one has even battered eyelid!! Where dies this leave us from an insurance point of view! Our premiums are going to shoot up due to ford's flaws in security

Cars like these should have been far more equipped when they were in development stage. Shocking how ling it takes to steal 1...

Had my 61 plate Zetec S stolen in this way. Replaced it with an ST and am shocked it is still happening on the newer models. It's vans also. People losing not just their pride and joy but their livelihoods too.

I currently own a Ford Fiesta ST and this News makes me very paranoid so I hope the petition goes through

Pay good money for a car for it to be stolen that easy? not good enough in my opinion.

We just want a security flaw fixed, it should be classed as a general recall.
