1995 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 1-800-955-5100 or the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800-222- 1020.
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.

Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent to
all General Motors dealershipshetail facilities.
GM monitors product performance in the field. When
service methods are found which promote better service
on
GM vehicles, bulletins are created to help the

service. Some will advise new or unexpected conditions,
and others may help avoid future costly repairs.
An
important reminder -- service bulletins are meant for
qualified technicians. Since these bulletins are issued
throughout the model year and beyond, an index is
required and published quarterly to help identify specific
bulletins. Subscriptions are available.
You can order an
index at the toll-free numbers listed previously, or
ask a
