Defaults on vehicle loans are soaring, especially among gen Z and millenials.

Ford has filed a patent to lock people out of vehicles for missing a payment.

New Ford patent would lock out owners for missed payments, allow cars to be repossessed remotely

Ford filed for a patent on a new technological system that would allow the automaker to lock out owners from their cars for missed payments. The patent would also allow cars to be repossessed remotely – even enabling self-driving vehicles to drive themselves to a repo lot. Ford Global...

No problem. Bring it Ford!

I suspect this would only apply to vehicles financed through Ford, rather than a bank.

Think of the possibilities for criminal apprehension, recovering stolen vehicles, etc. Command detonation of pre-positioned scuttling charges will be next. Vote wrong in the next election and the Mom and kids go poof!

Hackers will defeat it. Ransomware for your car.

Hackers can already lock your vehicle and take full control of it, at least for most newer vehicles.

Ford could possibly set it up so that they could charge another financer a fee to lock the vehicle.

My next car will be pre 70's. None of this garbage for me! It may not be a muscle car, but it will not have any of this garbage on it.

My vehicles use key locks, and none connect to Wifi, Cell, or Gps.
I barely have radios that work.

Found on the Road Locked. Why stop there FORL, make people pay you every year for the software to make the windows, lights and basically the truck run like jondeer.

Can they figure out a way to shut one down, when these idiots are driving north, in the southbound lane and running from the police, at 130 MPH?

The problem is that most people have a new car financed through the bank of their choice. Once that happens then Ford motor company is paid in full and the consumer then owes the financial institution the money. That would equate to Grand theft auto perpetrated by Ford motor company.

Wanna get back on your feet? Miss a payment!

Two possibilities exist: the people behind this are either too stupid to account for that, or they're actively trying to make that happen. And I've quit attributing to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

They're actively trying to make that happen.

My daily driver is increasingly my bicycle. Got a few neighbours who still take their mule teams into town for the weekly grocery runs.

The last free people in America are going to be the Amish.

I been done with Ford since twin turbos and cylinder deactivation. Still own an 03 f150 with the sparkplug ordeal

 

[TRyan]

Well I don't have to pay my student loans so why should I have to pay my vehicle payment!

OK, now back to the Ford-pummelers channel.

This is just the first step. The next will be your car shutting down because your monthly carbon footprint is too big.

I think it ford would gove access to the lender- thereby making lenders more ammenable to ford.

Infact- imagine if they could knock a half point of interest off the loan due to this "lockout" ability.

Im sure ford wouldnt mind cutting some deals with the scumbags who offer high interest zero down loans to desperate people.
