Your satisfaction and goodwill are

with the sales transaction or the
3peration of your vehicle will be
resolved by your dealer’s Sales or

however, despite the best intentions of
dl concerned, misunderstandings can
3ccur. If your concern has not been
resolved to your satisfaction, the

with a member of dealership
management. Complaints 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 Oldsmobile
Customer Assistance Network by
calling 1-800-442-6537. In Canada,
contact GM of Canada Customer
Assistance Center in Oshawa by calling
1-800-263-3777 (English) or

I GMParticipation in BBB
AUTO LmE- Alternative
Resolution Program*
Both Oldsmobile and your Oldsmobile
dealer are committed to maling sure
you are completely satisfied with your
new vehicle. If a situation arises where
you feel your concern has not been
adequately addressed, our experience
has shown that the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure described earlier in
this section is very successful at
resolving problems.
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
Oldsmobile 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: 1-800-955-5100
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
Oldsmobile. 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 male 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.

Customer Assistunce Informution

Bulletins cover various subjects. Some
pertain to the proper use and care of
your vehicle. Some describe costly
repairs. Others describe inexpensive
repairs which,
if done on time with the
latest parts, may avoid future costly
repairs. Some bulletins tell a technician
how to repair
a new or unexpected
condition. Others describe a quicker
way to fix your vehicle. They can help
a
technician service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions
affecting
a small number of cars or
trucks. Your Oldsmobile dealer or a
qualified technician may have to
determine if a specific bulletin applies
to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all Oldsmobile
bulletins. This way you’ll get them as
they come out. You can wait a while
and get an index to the bulletins. You
can also get individual bulletins.
However, you’ll need the index to
identlfy them.
Subscriptions
You can subscribe to all Oldsmobile
Product Service Publications (PSP’s)
.
This will include bulletins for all
vehicles sold by Oldsmobile and will not
be limited to PSP’s applicable to any
particular model.
For subscription costs and ordering
information call the toll-free number
shown in the following text.
What You’ll Find in the Index
A list of all PSP’s published by
Oldsmobile in a model year
(1990 or
later). PSP’s covering all models of
Oldsmobile vehicles are listed in the
same index.
Price information for the PSP’s you
may want to buy.
How You Can Get an Index
Indexes are published periodically.
Most of the PSP’s which could
potentially apply to the most recent
Oldsmobile models will be listed in the
most recent publication for that model
year. This means you may want to wait
until the end of the model year before
ordering an index, if you are interested
in buying PSP’s pertaining to a current
model year car or truck.
Some PSP’s pertaining to
a particular
model year vehicle may be published in
later years, and these would be listed in
the later year’s index. When you order
an index for a model year that is not
over yet, we’ll send you the most
recently published issue.
