minus-squaregian linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·20 days ago If requested by who? IIRC by the seller, if you did not pay the montly check for your loan they were able to disable the car and then recollect it That would actually be a fantastic security feature for owners to be able to do if their car is stolen. Yep, it was a fantastic security feature for the owners but also a way to disable the car if you do not pay the loan. In some way yes
