Pontiac. 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
Pontiac Customer Assistance Center at
1-800-PM CARES.
*This program may not be available in all states,
depending on state law. Canadian owners refer
