You can trick your whip all you want, but GM says that car is still theirs, no matter what you’ve paid. In a hearing this week, General Motors attorney Harry Lightsey said that purchasing and paying off your GM vehicle is a license agreement and not ownership.
The U.S Copyright Office is holding a hearing on whether anyone other than the vehicle’s manufacturer has the right to alter the that car’s copyrighted software. With modern design being what it is, this means almost altering anything about the vehicle.
Mechanics and private owners are saying they need to be allowed to make repairs on their vehicles to keep them running or maintain their business. But GM is saying that anyone unauthorized altering anything about the vehicle could create problems with the software and endanger the driver. This sounds more like a business ploy on the part of GM to hold a monopoly on vehicle repairs.

It makes my decision easier on what car not to buy!
This sounds like GM is the only one that can fix your car but get real idiots all cars these days are the same way so go buy something different and it will be the same thing just how dumb are people?
Glad I don’t have one of them pieces of S**t
I bet GM will lose a lot of business due to this
That is why I only driver older cars. I can fix them myself.
Simple solution: Don’t buy a Government errrr General Motors Car.
This is an old$#%&!@*theory, with the Volkswagen! What war is GM financing?
This is why I refuse to drive their garbage.
I will not buy another GM ever
If that’s the way the truly feel then if thou have a GM car you should never get a repair bill again
