Make sure you make those payments on time ! In the future your car will repossess itself! Dude, Where's My Ford?

No wonder they are so slow getting our OTAs out. They’re busy with more important things like trying to figure out how to repo vehicles.

First time in the history of automobiles that someone will use a reverse boot...people behind on payments will be booting their own vehicles. I personally love the idea of slowly taking away options. Hop in your buddies car mid summer and you got not AC or the ability to roll down the windows..."behind on payments eh?"

Depending on how far behind you are the greater the penalty....you think you're beating the man...then on the coldest day of winter they cut all heat...make one payment right now and your heat will be back in 5 minutes...

You're all safe from me, retired 5+ years now, LOL and glad those days are over.

Sorry, but that article is a year and a half old. Ford has since decided against it. Too much negative feedback I suspect.

Still, if you finance, make payments or you don’t deserve the car.

Old news.

Heck, in Los Angeles we have police chases almost 24/7. Why not allow the car to turn itself off or limp mode via remote..

It's more political than electra / mechanical.
