OnStar - How unprofessional
 

........................................................................................................:rant:

My trial subscription to OnStar is about to expire. For the past two weeks, my home phone's caller ID shows OnStar calls twice a day but doesn't leave any message. :NoNo:

I don't drive the car often, so when I started the car over the weekend, OnStar broadcast a message through the car's audio system that the subscription is about to expire. This message was repeated three times and I couldn't stop it- I had to listen to the sales pitch. :NoNo: :NoNo: I can't see why OnStar never leaves a message on the phone, but at the same time they force you to hear their pitch through the car's OnStar.

I think this knocks down their reputation a few notches.

Heck, I get two or three emails from Sirius XM concerning my satellite radio subscription having expired on my 2009 C6Z even though it expired at least 5 years ago. I only put one tank of gasoline in that car last year, so I really don't drive it that much. Certainly not enough to warrant paying a yearly fee for a radio I would never listen to.

I like having it in the Jeep, but we drive that vehicle a LOT more and it is worthwhile to me.

If I had them yammering to me over the internal speaker in my car, I would drive the vehicle to the dealership the next day and have them just yank that crap out of there. I get inundated with advertising enough as it is without having that sort of crap. It could have startled you enough to where you got distracted and had an accident.

That and XM will drive ya nuts.
