Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and Chevrolet.
Normally, any concern with the sales transaction or the operation of your
vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s Sales or Service Departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur.
If your concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE - Discuss your concern with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns can often be quickly resolved at that level
If the matter has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service, or Parts
Manager, contact the owner
of the dealership or the General Manager.
STEP TWO - If after contacting a member of dealership management, it
appears your concern cannot be resolved by
the dealership without further
help, contact the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222-1020. In Canada, contact GM of Canada Customer Assistance
Center in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777 (English) or
1-800-263-7854 (French).
In Mexico, call (525) 254-3777. In Puerto Rico or
U.S. Virgin Islands, call
1-809-763-13
15. In all other overseas locations, contact GM North
American Export Sales in Canada by calling
14 16-644-4 1 12. As of
October 4, 1993, call 1-905-6444 1 12.
For prompt assistance, please have the following information available to
give the Customer Assistance Representative:
0 Your name, address, home and business telephone number
Vehicle Identification Number (This is available from the vehicle
registration or title, or the plate at the
left top of the instrument panel
and visible through the windshield.)
Dealership name and location
Vehicle delivery date and present mileage
0 Nature of concern
We encourage you
to call the toll free number listed previously in order to
give your inquiry prompt attention. However,
if you wish to write
Chevrolet, write to:
Chevrolet Motor Division
Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center
P.
0. Box 7047
Troy,
MI 48007-7047
Refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet for
addresses of Canadian and
GM overseas offices.
8-2 ProCarManuals.com

When contacting Chevrolet, please remember that your concern will likely
be resolved in
the dealership, using the dealership’s facilities, equipment
and personnel. That is why we suggest
you follow Step One first if you have
a concern.
Customer Assistance for the Hearing or
Speech Impaired (TDD)
To assist customers who have hearing difficulties, Chevrolet has installed
special TDD (Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf) equipment at its
Customer Assistance Center. Any hearing or speech impaired customer who
has access
to a TDD or a conventional teletypewriter (TTY) can
communicate with Chevrolet by dialing:
1 -800-TDD-CHEV
(1-800-833-2438). (TDD users in Canada can dial 1-800-263-3830.)
GM Participation in BBB AUTO LINE -
Alternative Dispute Resolution Program*
*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.
Both Chevrolet and your Chevrolet dealer are committed to making sure
you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. Our experience has
shown if a situation arises where you feel your concern has not been
adequately addressed, that 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 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
Telephone: 1-800-955-5
100 22203
8-3 ProCarManuals.com

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. 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 1-800-955-5 100 or the Chevrolet
Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1
020.
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, or General Motors.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-800-424-9393 (or
366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C. 20590
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the
Hotline.
