Exclamation Onstar eats your battery?

Got a letter from onstar today saying that the onstar system can kill my battery.. I have to press the blue button and get an advisor and if that doesn't work then I have to use the emergency button and ask to speak to technical support.. anyone else get this letter or hear of this? ..

FYI my search feature isn't working tonight so if this is a repost then .. Meh.

well my blue button worked.. so no worries... then they asked me if i had a few minutes to talk to them because i had a welcome call on their file.. sounds to me like this letter is a ploy to get me to sign up for my service again... funny thing is i'm not on an onstar contract right now and the blue button still works... so why would i pay when i can apparently still use this feature to call them and setup onstar? hell i bet if i crash and use the feature for help they legally can't hang up on me... and if they want to then i just resign my contract and get the help i need.. lol
