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.

As long as it meets government standards on pollution it should make no difference…..because they are the title holder ….NOT GENERAL MOTORS….
Im sorry i dont see LEASE anywhere on my tittle, nor was it mentioned when i paid in full at the dealership.
CAN ANYONE SAY BOYCOTT??????????????????????
Unreal. This is what “Government Motors” will get you.
Honestly you don’t own anything and never will, as long as there is a title or deed that comes with the property. THE STATE on top of the paper that claims ownership actually owns it.
OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS SUE GM AS THEY NEVER SPECIFIED IT IN ANY CONTRACTS.
Time to stop buying GM products.
Bull$#%&!@*
And how many shady tree mechanics are computer programmers? I’d hazard to say – none of them.
guess it’s time to stop buying chevy’s my friends
