a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper or insufficient
maintenance, or modifications not

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 1-800-43-FLEET

We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to give
your inquiry prompt attention.

available to give the Customer
Assistance Representative:

Number (VIN). This is available
from the vehicle registration or
title, or the plate above the top of
the instrument panel on the
driver side, and visible through
the windshield.
. The dealer name and location.
. The vehicle delivery date and
present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac,
remember that your concern will
likely be resolved at a dealer's facility. That is why we suggest you
follow Step One first if you have a
concern.
STEP THREE :
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 Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to
enforce any additional rights you
may have.
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
filing 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
