Too many people today think that privileges are rights. It is not a right to work, drive a car, etc. You have to earn those privileges and if you interfere with someone else you need to pay for it. |
Re: hell hath no fury
I just find it creepy that this was even possible. This makes me think of Skynet capability.

Another reason I don't want a new car.

Then picture a government that is corrupt with back room bribes,under the table deals, blind self-interest, etc. and controls every facet of your existence, and can force you to do things the people do not support, yet the government feels "it is in your best interest." The first part has happened. The second part seems to be in process pretty well. |

Any car with the OnStar style GPS system built in can have this done to it whether it's active or not.

Re: hell hath no fury
That is very scary.

Any car can have this system. I have one on my car. Will get one for the truck shortly. Outside of Onstar no manufacturer has a system to find the car. Well I have my questions as to the full capability of Ford/Microsofts Sync system, I think it can do the same thing but aside.
Both Onstar/Sync are easily disabled by the consumer as far as these ideas. The crooks are well aware how to disable Onstar's tracking and shutoff features. The age old LoJack is the most well known but certainly not the only game. Ya'll have a choice just exercise it just like the law and dealer should exercise their right to boot this guys ass. |

Re: hell hath no fury
The scariest part of the story for me is that the dealership is installing the GPS systems in the cars for the purpose of repossessing the cars when buyers are overdue on payments. I wonder if this is disclosed to the consumers before they purchase the cars?

Re: hell hath no fury
Here's the dealer website http://www.texasautocenter.net
I'm sure all these people knew that these systems were in their cars. I used to work next to one of these Buy Here Pay Here car lots. The customers would have to come in and make a payment every month, and someone would reset some computer in the car. If this computer wasn't reset after a certain number of days the car wouldn't turn on. |
