All of those Mustangs are ratting out their owners LOL
On GM vehicles you can pull the fuse on the ONSTAR mirror and disable the whole thing. At least you could.
If the data is being stored by FORD or GM..then the govt can get it. Probably already has it.
I think I’ll avoid buying cars with already installed GPS’s & just use one that I bought separately.
I don’t need no steenking GPS!
Don’t install it in my car.
The first company that advertises they are NOT tracking consumers via GPS will see an increase in 20% of sales.
This guy is in marketing??? I hope Ford gives him a new job, soon.
Stop buying Fords ould be my recommendation after that comment. Time to Cracker Barrell him...

This dunce is in charge of marketing? Maybe for Toyota.
My dad wonders why I have an old 1980 Plymouth that I want to get back into service asap. No GPS, no complex EFI system, speed control, etc. Just a 360, 4 barrel and a Torqueflite.
Every car with a built in GPS (which these days is almost every car) has the same situation. If your car knows where you are it knows how fast you’re going, and it knows enough about the local traffic laws (if only from observing their other drivers) to know when you’re breaking them.
Don’t forget the black boxes. Federally required on ALL 2014 vehicles. By unconstitutional regulation, NOT by Constitutional legislation.
Buy a leftover 2013 model and keep it as long as you can.
So why is it gathered? Solely to deny warranty claims?
The GPS is fine, its the transmitter radioing info to Ford that’s the problem.
Before the government has an orgasm thinking about the prospect of tapping into our GPS and issuing automated citations, let me just say this - Hammer time because that is exactly what will happen to my GPS whether they try to pull an Obamacare on this issue too. I will beat that GPS unit 6 ways to Sunday...
LOL!
I think it’s going to come to that. Let the market decide what goes in our cars, not so much the Govt. Data collection has become a means of activity in and of itself, not really needing to do the actually finding of terrorists.
