On another note, I was told that they will not do anything for you once your subscription expires. If you get in an accident or your vehicle is stolen, your service must be reactivated prior to them doing anything about it. Otherwise what would be the point of them charging for their services if they're going to provide them whether you pay or not?

Yes, make sure you push the blue button in your stolen truck to find out where it is

Exactly. He called and cancelled, and you didn't renew, therefore she couldn't tell you where your truck was. If you had paid to have the service reactivated, then they would have tracked your stolen truck. OnStar is a business offering a service; just like any other business, their goal is to make money.

There are other ways of finding out the shape of a vehicle, like a thorough mechanical inspection. I don't like the idea of anybody being able to randomly track me without my permission. Yes I know that cell phones have a similar issue, but it's something I've come to terms with to stay easily connected and such. However, there is no advantage for me in my truck reporting my behavior to somebody else. And before you go off thinking I'm just a lawbreaker who doesn't want to get caught, I'm an LEO.
Who do you know that has been warned? Are they a member on here? they "shouldn't" be just watching you randomly saying oh look how fast he is driving!!!!!!!
Maybe if the car has been reported stolen i can see it but i have never heard of someone 1st hand being warned by Onstar. It's always i know someone who...

A customer I drove home at one of my old jobs... GMT800 diesel, he had onstar call him and tell him if he continues driving at excessive speeds his warranty will be voided.... But every time he was on he highway, he drove foot to the floor and maxed it out. He's the only person I've actually talked to that's had it happen.
If onstar warns me about something I'll attempt to record it... I doubt it, though because my warranty is almost up... Well, technically already voided... BB Tuned
