Why would you even buy one, knowing the bank or the dealership has that option? Bad financial conditions can happen to any of us.

I find it interesting that they would first make it unpleasant to drive.
Cut cruise control, gps, infotainment. Then cut AC, etc. Then play a constant noise. Then lock you out and move to a spot easiest for a tow truck to take it.

and you'll get invoice for services provided, with your assets repossessed in the process, all the rulings and processes in the court of law provided by your friendly neighbourhood omniAI™. Brave new world.

Car industry and car lobby is very well connected with the ruling class in America, Ford is like a poster child for 70's car boom and this may very well be a way to test the waters and in a distant future, you would consider this a norm.
We soon will be pushed to pay for "luxury services" in our cars on a subscription model, you wanna heated seats ? 5,99$/mo . You want to have access to heat your car before you go to work on a freezing morning? 12,99$/mo.

This shit is getting out of control and is only going to get worse. I just read another article on Reddit about a car manufacturer exploiting their subscription services policies at the expense of all human decency.
>Volkswagen refused to cooperate with law enforcement in a case of child abduction last week because the vehicle at the center of the crime had an expired GPS subscription.
>The company demanded officers pay $150 to renew the service before assisting police

I doubt this would ever really happen. Just like Turbo Tax (and other tax specialists) lobby to keep the Tax Code complicated, the Repo industry will not sit silent as their entire business model goes away.

They can repo it with or without that feature. If you intend to buy on credit with the idea that you’re going to hang onto it anyway even if you’ve defaulted on payments, you may want to reconsider your financial strategy.

There was that cable company awhile back that instead of cutting service switched all channels to CSPAN for unpaid bills and it worked better for them

So if someone's trying to stalk their ex girlfriend all they have to do is call up and say I'm a cop and it's an emergency, I need their location?

I am sorry, didn’t come across this post, we are subbed to different subreddits probably, go ahead and flag it if you want

Honestly that makes perfect sense.
Instead of turning off the service (back when the only way to do that was to physically disconnect at the pole) flip them to something they don't want.
Although there are a few people out there that might like it. lol.
