Read an article on my Google Malibu alerts. Told about two kids who stole a Malibu from a dealership in Pueblo Colorado. When an inventory showed a vehicle missing the owner called police who activated a nationwide LoJack search and they found the vehicle and the kids just as they were trying to jump start a Ford Mustang in a parking lot. Mustang was not equipped with LoJack. My question... Isn't Onstar supposed to be available on all new Malibu's? Apparently it is even too expensive for even the dealers to have it activated. But LoJack is cheaper, and also apparently more effective. Granted. The redeeming quality of OnStar is that it contacts local emergency services should you be in an accident or have a medical emergency. It will onlock your vehicle if you lock yourself out, and it may even make your car slow down if it is involved in a chase. Not sure on that one. And according to an episode on the sit com, REBA, it can sound alarms, lock doors and otherwise cause havoc.
