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 Geo and your Chevrolet/Geo 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, Geo 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.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 339 of 354

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/Geo. 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/Geo Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800-222- 1020.

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

Service Manuals
Service manuals contain diagnosis and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They
may
be useful for owners who wish to get a greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful
for
owners with the appropriate skill level or training who
wish
to perform “do-it-yourself’ service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly sent to all General Motors’ dealerships. 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 technician perform better service. Service bulletins may involve any number of
vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive service; others will describe expensive service. Some will advise
of new
or unexpected conditions, and others may help avoid
future costly repairs. Service bulletins are meant for
qualified technicians. In some cases they refer to service manuals, specialized tools, equipment and safety
procedures necessary to service the vehicle. 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 GM dealerhetailer to see
an
index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners with general
operation and maintenance information.
