I wonder if there's a disclaimer anywhere when you purchase your vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted May 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted May 26, 2015 Smells like If it's not paid for and financed through GM, or a lease through GM I could understand, but when GM is paid for there product even if it's financed thorough a second party, "to me" they don't own it anymore. But that probably makes to much sense for the real world ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I experienced this when I bought a '98 S-10 Electric. Without nearly unabated access to a TIS terminal, several owners were left high and dry when their battery packs finally expried....even those that had the Tech-2 like myself. It was a beautiful idea from the outside, but functionally a large paperweight due in large part to the lock down of the embedded software.

T2K Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I wonder if that's covered by warranty? I wonder if you can order a vehicle with a delete option? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
