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.

You should of sued.
First don’t buy GM and never will. Second, just try to take my truck.
Ok but the owner of the vehicle is responsible for the property tax.
If you buy a GM vehicle – all that you do is continue repairing it.
Toyotas last forever if you can keep the dealerships from destroying them. Worst incident I ever had at a Toyota Dealership – they changed the oil and did not put enough oil back in it. The oil light came on a quarter mile down the road. I checked the dipstick and no visible oil on it.
They told me to drive it back when I called them on my cell phone.
Well, if that’s true then GM can pay for all of those repairs out of their own pocket, then it will be R.I.P. GM. (As if that isn’t already happening!)
then GM should be held responsible for every accident caused by their vehicle and for every death. please buy it back from my wife for the same price you fucked us for it!
… well then .. we need to talk to them about the leases that are running over people over in Europe …
Hahahahaaaaaa!
That’s okay. I own a Ford!
