GM Participation in
Alternative Dispute
Resolution Program
*
BBB AUTO LINE
=
Both Chevrolet/Geo and your
Chevrolet/Geo dealer are committed to
making sure you are completely satisfied
with your new vehicle. Our experience
has shown that, if a situation arises where
you feel your concern has not been
adequately addressed, the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure described earlier in
this section is very successful.
There may be instances where an
impartial third-party can assist in arriving
at a solution to a disagreement regarding
vehicle repairs or interpretation of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
To
assist
in resolving these disagreements
Chevrolet/Geo voluntarily participates in
BBB AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court
program administered by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes
between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program is available
free of charge to customers who currently
own or lease a GM vehicle.
If you are not satisfied after following the
Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free
telephone number, or write them at the
following address:
BBB AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203
Telephone: 1-800-955-5 100
To file a claim, you will be asked to
provide your name and address, your
vehicle identification number (VIN), and
a statement of the nature of your
complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle
age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer you utilize the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the
BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint serving as an
intermediary between you and
Chevrolet/Geo. If this mediation is
unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be
scheduled where eligible customers may
present their case to an impartial
third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which
you may accept or reject. If you accept
the decision, GM will be bound by that
decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about
forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you to use
this program before filing a claim with a
state-run arbitration program or in the
courts. For further information, contact
the BBB at 1-800-955-5100 or the
Chevrolet/Geo Customer Assistance
Center at 1-800-222- 1020.
*This program may not be available in
all states, depending on state law.
Canadian owners refer to your
Warranty and Owner Assistance
information booklet. General Motors
reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or to discontinue its
participation in this program.
