Is OnStar protecting your vehicle??
This is probably an anomaly but OnStar sure didn't do much for this guys GM car.. ONSTAR FAIL Wonder if they will refund his $250 he paid for the service? If you have a $60,000 tow vehicle yo...

I've had the free initial Onstar on 3 vehicles now and let all lapse without much use.
With that said, am considering picking up the discounted service they sent me a notice for. Why? A month ago at a CG by San Antonio a neighboring 5er without a TV told us about his 2012 F450 KR, fully loaded, with genny and extended diesel tank etc was stolen in downtown San Antonio. He said he's come to know the SA police real well over the last 4 days and they told him there were ~8 PU's stolen every day there for drug runs to Mexico.
I came across him when he was telling an F150 owner he should invest in security. I asked why F150s and not GMs, and he said the police told him "Onstar".
Recognizing that just the GM badge is sufficient for this deterrence, but after watching this poor couple have their 5er towed to another CG where they would stay a few more weeks until the insurance sorted it out has added an exclamation point to this for me.
Don't like $150/yr fee, but sure would hate to be stranded w/o a TV. Chances of this are very small, and Onstar doesn't guarantee it can't happen, but it's got me thinking.
