If another party's insurance company is paying
for the repairs, you are not obligated to accept
a repair valuation based on that insurance
company's collision policy repair limits, as you
have no contractual limits with that company.
In such cases, you can have control of the
repair and parts choices as long as cost stays
within reasonable limits.

Reporting Safety Defects

Reporting Safety Defects to the
United States Government
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which
could cause a crash or could cause injury or death,
you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
in addition to notifying General Motors.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open
an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect
exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer/retailer, or General Motors.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153);
go to http://www.safercar.gov;
or write to:

Washington, D.C. 20590

vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
