7. How to Deal with Warranty
Problems
7.1 Steps to Take
A. In General
Normally, warranty problems can be resolved by
your dealer’s sales or authorized FIAT repair facility
departments. That’s why you should always talk to
your authorized FIAT repair facility service manager
or dealer’s sales manager first. But if you’re not
satisfied with your dealer’s or authorized FIAT
repair facility response to your problem, Chrysler
Group LLC ("Chrysler") recommends that you do the
following:
HOW TO DEAL WITH WARRANTY PROBLEMS
Step 1:Discuss your problem with the owner or
general manager of the dealership or authorized FIAT
repair facility.
Step 2:If your dealership or authorized FIAT repair
facility still can’t resolve the problem, contact the FIAT
Customer Assistance Center. You’ll find the address in
section 7.2.
B. What Chrysler Will Do
Once you have followed the two steps described in
7.1(A), a Chrysler representative at Chrysler headquar-
ters will review your situation. If it’s something that
Chrysler can help you with, Chrysler will provide your
dealer with all the information and assistance necessary
to resolve the problem. Even if Chrysler can’t help you,
Chrysler will acknowledge your contact and explain
Chrysler's position.

D. Notice Under State Lemon Laws
Some states have laws allowing you to get a re-
placement vehicle or a refund of the vehicle’s
purchase price under certain circumstances. These
laws vary from state to state. If your state law
allows, Chrysler requires that you first notify us in
writing of any service difficulty that you may have
experienced so that we can have a chance to make
any needed repairs before you are eligible for
remedies provided by these laws. In all other states,
we ask that you give us written notice of any
service difficulty. Send your written notice to the
FIAT Customer Assistance Center at the address in
7.2. • If any action is required on the part of the servicing
authorized FIAT repair facility /selling dealer or
Chrysler you will be contacted within ten (10) days
after the date by which the dealer or Chrysler must act
to determine whether performance has been rendered.
• The entire dispute settlement process will normally
take no longer than 40 days.
• The CAP dispute settlement procedure does not take
the place of any state or Federal legal remedies
available to you. Whether or not you decide to
submit your dispute to the Process, you are free to
pursue other legal remedies.
