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.

OK, I will just not buy you crappie cars then,
That’s another reason I will not buy a G.M. Product.
Really GM,, another reason I dont own anything made by GM !
This is misleading. It’s just about messing with the software.
Both ford and dodge have gm parts. They are all interconnected. I wanted to buy something American. The closest I came was a ford that was “assembled” here. It’s a different world we live in. Our property isn’t ours, our cars aren’t ours… Taking everything away from us.
If it’s an emission related software update, gm does take care of it for free. Its California law. Including parts, up to 60,000 miles. ❤️
Yea, well you try to come and take it ?
Be sure your wearing your bullet proof head!
Because I’m going to give you a 45 Enema, to get that bad blood out !
Not a Threat! But a promise ! ! I will chase you to the gates of HELL ! !
F**k gm the commie bastards. Napalm the whole bunch
They are correct. Read that thing you call the “title”. It says “certificate of title” across the top. The state actually holds the real title. It really is not yours. The old saying “possession is 9/10ths of the law” pertains to who actually has the real title. Think about it……..if we had hands on the real title, nobody could ever take the vehicle from us.
no and i will never buy a general motors car ever !!!!!
