Jeff Wyler Automotive Family: Police Chase Ends when OnStar Stops SUV

Police Chase Ends when OnStar Stops SUV

While most of our customers are familiar with OnStar benefits such as helping you unlock the car when you accidentally lock the keys inside, or using OnStar vehicle diagnostics to let their vehicle communicate when maintenance is needed, many are not aware of this OnStar feature... How about using OnStar to stop a car thief?

That's right! On October 18th, a 2009 Chevy Tahoe was carjacked and when the police pulled behind it, a high speed chase began. Minutes later, GM's OnStar service sent an electronic command that disabled the gas pedal and the Tahoe came to a stop. The thief was captured, and OnStar added a new benefit to its service - nabbing car thieves! Learn more details here about how OnStar halts stolen SUV.
