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.

All the money doesn’t stay in the US on the above mentioned car Japan and Germany gets it just because it’s built here doesn’t mean the profits stay here
Who cares everything is made in China by child slaves in sweat shops. You are on a phone, computer etc. That was made by those same slaves. Still using it though aren’t you.
Well looks evident that I won’t be buying that new Corvette that I’ve been dreaming about since high school. Lol
Idiots, people will repair their vehicles their own way. Is GM going to be in everyone’s garage, shop, or under people’s trees at all times of the day and night. Lol as I said IDIOTS !!! To many great mechanics out there for them to keep up with. But because they mentioned there feelings here’s mine, I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING A GM MADE VEHICLE EVER !!!
Yeah, that’s GM! The money mongering buggers! This is what we bailed out in 2009? Should’ve let them die!
So much fear mongering here. GM is and will always be my go to car. I don’t like Hondas, Toyotas, there’s a few Dodge vehicles i like mainly the Charger and Challenger. But GM builds cars, not ricers or flimsy vehicles. Sure there’s defects in GM products (in which i wish they would fix) and at least on several vehicles, including the Camaros it’s next to impossible to check/change the transmission fluid but no other car drives like GM. They are stable vehicles.
yikes
Good you pay the payments,ip keep and all repairs
Better get with Apple to make your os
That’s because they replaced general with government. Remember?
