Ford remotely shut off this brand-new Bronco on a busy expressway over ONE late payment

No car company has such a thing the liability would be massive if an accident happened kill switching is only when shut off you cant start it. Tesla on the other hand would be able To do so. Ford abandoned the patent submission a long time ago!

yall some dumb kids

It wasn't FORD !!

It was the loan company.

I did loan closings.

They get 100% of the vehicle information when they accept the loan.
The dealership is required to comply with certain things if they are to get their commission payments from the loan company.

Dont miss ur fkn payments.. I for one would never get a loan through a manufacturer.. they charge too much interest, on top of that shit like this can happen.. a bank or building society wont shut ur car down or stop ur scheduled services like this. Stupid man

Be even funnier when the repo dude drives past

all new cars will be doing this. the future of buying a car is over you don't own it they do. buy older cars fix them when the break. its only gonna get worse

This loser is already making late payments on his brand new Bronco, yet has the nerve to call Ford the scammers?

My sensors indicate you earned it for buying a piece of shit.

I'm not against them shutting it off, but it shouldn't be allowed while the vehicle is in motion. That's foolish, dangerous, and irresponsible. Just wait a bit, they'll park again sooner or later, and then you pull the plug. His late payment shouldn't be the reason a vehicle becomes a hazard on the road. I think if someone shuts a car off in traffic and it causes an accident, the plug-puller should be held responsible for everything, including negligent manslaughter if need be.

Ignorant trash. Look, "Home Biscuit", if you cannot afford $40k plus for a vehicle, than maybe don't buy a $40k mall crawler?

Always the victim.

You bought a car you can't afford, probably has missed every payment and got shut down. He would have signed paperwork when he bought the car describing what would happen if he didn't pay his note. Plenty of YT videos of idiots like this.

shit son i shut peoples cars down at the buy here pay here dealership all the time then I would get a call from them wanting to make a payment lmao!!!

Atleast he's happy not owning anything like they said we would be.

Few people realize it, but this is part of the future Total Control system, which is being stealthily imposed on us all!

If you’re missing one payment that early on then you’re in for a hell of a ride. Or wait… a hell of a stopped car

Make your payments, bro.
$75000 for that is laughable.

I SAID IN 2010 THIS WOULD BE A THING IN THE FUTURE, AND EVERYBODY CALLED ME CRAZY, LOOK NOW

This shit has seemed in to the most feared thing of all.....those gd smartphone computers that listen to you without you even knowing it. GET RID OF THOSE "SMART PHONES" Never mind about the kill switch on your bigshot Bronco. And by the way....maybe God wants you to make those payments on time!! Wouldn't you think?

Smart cars are for dumb people. Regardless of finances, if something did happen Ford motor co would have to couch the lawsuit in their twats. He may have been shut down by someone else.

I don't trust the narrative of anyone stupid enuff to have a tat on their hand

This isnt new?! Cars have had that for a while now... pay ur Bill's duh

How many late did he expect them to accept before they pulled the plug.
Let his employment late pay him just once and see if he doesn't throw a fit.

Bet he'll be on time from here on out.

B-b-but da devil! this is prophecy from my bible!!!
Yadd, yadda

Those devices are very common and he would've signed off on it. He has bad credit. What the rules are (if any) shutting off the car while moving, I dunno. Mrdical emergency? That's your own damn fault. Make your payments. Ford didn't do it, the finance company did.

What can they track? The Camaro Z28 was one of the first with a "black box". I had one new....that was1998. Every car has them now.
