My understanding and I could be wrong is that Onstar or the Microsoft Sync program can track you even if you are not a paying subscriber to their service. With a proper warrant the police could have Onstar locate your vehicle and it wouldn't be a stretch that they could switch the vehicle off if asked during a chase. You also have the Event Data Recorder that records what your car is doing at any given time as well, that data is stored in a database somewhere, our chevy can even text us when it wants a fricking oil change or the tires are low, but that could be part of the Onstar service.
