Customer Assistance and
Information
Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your
dealer/retailer and to Cadillac. Normally, any
concerns with the sales transaction or the operation
of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s/
retailer’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/retailer 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/retailer or the general manager.STEP TWO:If after contacting a member of
dealership/retailer management, it appears
your concern cannot be resolved by the
dealership/retailer without further help, in the
United States, contact the Cadillac Customer
Assistance Center, 24 hours a day, by calling
1-800-458-8006. In Canada, contact the Canadian
Cadillac Customer Communication Centre by
calling 1-888-446-2000.
We encourage you to call the toll-free number in
order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Please
have the following information available to give
the Customer Assistance Representative:
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN). This is
available from the vehicle registration or
title, or the plate at the top left of the
instrument panel and visible through the
windshield.
Dealership/retailer name and location.
Vehicle delivery date and present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac, please remember that
your concern will likely be resolved at a
dealer’s/retailer’s facility. That is why we suggest
you follow Step One rst if you have a concern.

STEP THREE (United States Owners):Both
General Motors and your dealer/retailer are
committed to making sure you are completely
satised with your new vehicle. However, if you
continue to remain unsatised after following
the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you
should le with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
Auto Line Program to enforce your rights.
The BBB Auto Line Program is an out of court
program administered by the Council of Better
Business Bureaus to settle automotive disputes
regarding vehicle repairs or the interpretation
of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Although you
may be required to resort to this informal dispute
resolution program prior to ling a court action,
use of the program is free of charge and your case
will generally be heard within 40 days. If you do
not agree with the decision given in your case, you
may reject it and proceed with any other venue
for relief available to you.You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program
using the toll-free telephone number or write them
at the following address:
BBB Auto Line Program
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203-1838
Telephone: 1-800-955-5100
This program is available in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia. Eligibility is limited by
vehicle age, mileage and other factors. General
Motors reserves the right to change eligibility
limitations and/or discontinue its participation in
this program.

STEP THREE (Canadian Owners):
General Motors Participation in the
Mediation/Arbitration Program
In the event that you do not feel your concerns
have been addressed after the following the
procedure outlined in Steps One and Two.
General Motors of Canada Limited wants you to
be aware of its participation in a no-charge
mediation/Arbitration program. General Motors
of Canada Limited has committed to binding
arbitration of owner disputes involving
factory-related vehicle service claims.
The program provides for the review of the
facts involved by an impartial third party arbiter,
and may include an informal hearing before
the arbiter. The program is designed so that the
entire dispute settlement process, from the
time you le your complaint to the nal decision,
should be completed in approximately 70 days.
We believe our impartial program offers
advantages over courts in most jurisdictions
because it is informal, quick, and free of charge.For further information concerning eligibility in the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan
(CAMVAP), call toll-free 1-800-207-0685.
