Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Plan Ahead When Possible
Whenever possible, schedule an appointment for your
vehicle’s warranty work. Your Cadillac dealer can then
prepare
to meet your alternative transportation needs
and minimize inconveniences typically associated with
warranty repairs.
Owner Responsibilities
There are only two things which you will be responsible
for during the use
of your courtesy vehicle. You are
required to provide insurance coverage and replenish the
fuel used.
In many cases your own auto insurance policy may
provide primary coverage for the courtesy vehicle, similar to rental car agreements. Please, check
with your
insurance company to be certain what’s covered.
This service is provided to
you under the terms of the
New Vehicle Warranty, therefore, it is imperative that
your vehicle 6e picked up from the dealership at the
completion
of the warranty service. Vehicles not picked
up in a timely fashion may incur rental fees charged to
the customer.
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 Cadillac and your Cadillac 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, Cadillac voluntarily participates
in BBB

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.
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 Cadillac.
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
40 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 Cadillac Customer
Assistance Center at
1-800-458-8006.
