This will make it very easy for lots of folks to give GM the bird here.

Forget it - I won't be forced to buy any of their junk.

A year later, this is even funnier to me. GM charged their customers a huge mandatory up front fee (plus monthly fees?) to sell their data and subsequently increase their insurance rates (unbeknownst to the customers). Genius! 😂😂😂

I want a car with no computer.

Yup, everyone smart and with the money should get one, one of the older cars pre-2000's and lower at least. Plus they're much easier to work on and many more dependable. Who wants someone having control over your vehicle speeds etc, something they're talking about doing soon. 🤔

No more Chevrolet they can keep them

If you want to ask some rude agent based in India who can barely speak a word of English for help then OnStar is for you!

Perfect example of "supply and demand". If you really really really want a GMC pickup, then you have to pay an extra $1,500, because they won't sell it without the feature. If you just want any old pickup, you can choose from Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, I don't know if Honda makes a pickup, never seen one.

Honda makes the ridgeline series pickups.

Just another way to grab money for the CEO'S pocket. OnStar had always been a way for the company to track your every move...no thank you. As a GM retiree and life long loyal customer, I will go elsewhere for a new vehicle if I have to. At least until the others follow suit, which will happen. Nothing but a money grab for corporate America.

They can track your every movement, location, speed and direction with on star and can disable your vehicle remotely at any time.

And isn’t that great for when you have had a life threatening accident in a rural area not covered by cell phone service plus doesn’t OnStar thwart car theft, slowing your car and contacting police about your car’s whereabouts?

I just bought a 2024 lower end Silverado. It wasn't included in the MSRP. So after a free one month, I just let it expire. Essentially, your phone can do almost everything that onstar provides.

Was gonna buy a brand new Silverado to replace my Ram when I give it to my son. Not buying a GM product now, or ever again.

GM is among the first, but the others are going to go down this path. Look what they are including in it. Keyless entry, heated seats etc.

If you check their "plans" you still end up paying more than what the dealership charges you for that 3 year "plan" smh this is getting out of control

folks you cant use much of the stuff on your truck or car. i got screwed in this deal too

refuse to take any gm vehicle off the lot unless they disable and unplug the onstar module

Even if you opt-out OnStar will still track you and even listen to your conversations via their built in microphone. Selling your data.

equivalent price of 30 months of the top on star service they have now...

I bought a new Chevy in 2019, love the car, but dropped all the connectivity crap once it expired. I don't want it or need it. Who wants to be spied on by the company you just paid money for their product? The taking and selling of peoples data and info has gone way over board! Oddly, I still get a monthly email update, telling me my tire pressure, miles, etc., etc. If they're going to do this I'm done with GM, of course all the others are going to do the same thing or try to. That's okay, I still own a few older vehicles without the connectivity crap, I'll go back to driving them strictly.

It was easy to delete onstar on my '09 but I'm sure they have made it much more difficult now. I have no interest in it whatsoever. In the US, car makers are out of control collecting & using your personal data. They dont allow it in the EU.

I will NEVER pay a monthly subscription to anything on a car PERIOD!

Just more scamming which seems to be the way if the world now as far as big businesses go and unfortunately people too.

And then they'll sunset the features!

onstar is useless I would never want that , I tried it for a little while and there was absolutely no point to it. my phone does everything instant can do and I can remote start my truck using the key fob so yeah.....

You can opt out after 3 years, but the system will interrupt your music/radio randomly to remind you that your vehicle is equipped with OnStar and connected to limited services or not connected to services. If you re-up to anything other than the top tier plan, it will continue to randomly pester you about being connected to limited services. Odds are good that when this truck I have needs replacing, I will be buying a new truck...that isn't a GM product, because this life long bowtie guy has had enough of this nonsense and won't continue to support a company that engages in these behaviors.

That's problem is easy to solve don't buy a car from General Motors I know I sure as hell won't And I don't see how that could be legal

It will cost them my business.

But OnStar will drop you after nine years anyway, so it’s not worth the deal

GM has failed! I will never buy any GM product. Toyota for last 45 yrs. They don't give option walk away .

Ok GM looks like I'm going to change brands your not shoving on star down my throat

And they are backtracking. Taking them off of most 2024 models.

What vechiecl shortage? 😂

The BIG reason I will never buy a GMC product.

ANOTHER reason to buy a Toyota instead.

What a ripoff. I was about to buy an Acadia until I found out about this.

What a scam. Why have OnStar? No reason. My watch and phone do everything it does.

1.500$ for 3 years??.Make it for the life of the loan then and people would buy it.

I haven't owned a GM product in over 30 years, Low quality garbage at best.
