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 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.

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:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ‘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:
