Enrollment
Surpasses 100,000 in First Month Following Announcement
Oct
20, 2005 -- Detroit, Mich.
- OnStar subscribers are responding enthusiastically to
the opportunity to participate in the OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics
program, another valued addition to OnStar's popular array
of safety, security and peace of mind services. In the first
month since OnStar launched the innovative, new, monthly
e-mail vehicle diagnostic service, enrollment has surpassed
100,000 customers.
"As we had expected, our subscribers have enthusiastically
embraced OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics. Now, over 100,000 vehicles
are sending their owners monthly e-mails to tell them how
they are doing,'' said Chet Huber, OnStar president. "That's
just part of what OnStar brings to GM's Total Value Promise,
giving customers unique, important services and, in this
case, at no additional price,'' he added.
OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics automatically performs hundreds
of diagnostic checks on four key GM vehicle operating systems
- the engine/transmission, anti-lock brakes, airbag and
OnStar. The vehicle is automatically programmed to send
the results via e-mail to the owner each month. The unique
e-mail report also provides maintenance reminders based
on the vehicle's current odometer reading, remaining engine
oil-life and other relevant vehicle ownership and OnStar
subscription information.
