28 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROCEDURE
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Cadillac. Normally, any concerns 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 dealer
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 dealer
facility or the general manager.
STEP TWO : If after contacting a
member of dealer management, it
appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealer without further
help, contact the Cadillac Customer
Assistance Center by calling
1-800-458-8006. In Canada, contact
GM of Canada Customer Care Centre
by calling 1-888-446-2000: English,
or 1-800-263-7854: French. For resolution of issues related to the
Cadillac Professional Vehicle, contact

Both GM and your GM
dealer are committed to making sure
you are completely satisfied with your
new vehicle. However, if you continue
to remain unsatisfied after following
the procedure outlined in Steps One
and Two, you can file with the Better

rights you may have.

resort to this informal dispute
resolution program prior to filing a
court action, use of the program is
free of charge and your case will
generally be heard within 40 days.

given in your case, you may reject it

relief available to you.
