OJR Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yep, someone with ONSTAR had to make the call! I have used it to report a couple of accidents. Works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hmmm...My wifes 07 Trailblazer has Onstar. We have not activated it, since the vehicle was bought used. I never liked the whole OnStar thing to begin with. A tracking device, like the EZ-Pass toll collection system. They are Transponders. Perhaps with this story, the driver was using OnStar and sounded drunk and the operator notified authorities? Or someone used it to make the call on the hazardous driver. I have been thinking about pulling the fuse to the system and disabling it. We do not use it at all. That is if it is not tied into EVERYTHING in the vehicle to prevent that from happening. I have a question for Shaun...Oh Shaun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 On Star has it's issues, but I've been to more than one wreck where the driver was unable to make a call out, either no phone or unconscious. On Star operators always get multiple agencies involved for rapid response and stay on the line till help arrives, or so has been my experience. I don't like big brother looking over my shoulder, but nice to know if my wife leaves the road and goes off a deep shoulder that there's going to be calls made as soon as the airbag is deployed.

Thats what I see too. I used to have it, just can't see $200 per year to open your car because the keys are inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
