Here's what my local expert says: "Go take a look at the Smart Club of America forums because this has been discussed and Mercedes Benz is not only turning off that program but they have no interest in going after the vehicles that came off lease. In fact the legal responsibility is on whoever bought the vehicle at auction they signed the paperwork and they're the ones that are on the hook for it, if it's changed hands at a couple dealerships you got nothing to worry about. I want to say yours the battery was bought out right because the guy who originally owned it lived in Sanford and that's why it's got such high mileage"
I will check out the forums when I have a chance. No, it does not have a way to shut it off remotely. I suppose they could try to keep the car if I took it in for service, but I don't think they would have any legal grounds, since I have no contract with them.
