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.

I wouldn’t even rent anything built by GM !
Time to buy that Ford F-150 everyone is raving about.
I own my 1993 Mercedes and I’d never buy or lease a Government Motors car.
Someone should start manufacturing cars they way they used to with no software and metal instead of plastic , they’d be safer and cheaper
I’m sorry Ford Chevy and Dodge all got bailed out one way or another
That’s why I only buy Toyota or Honda
