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.

authorized FIAT repair facility /selling dealer, 5) The
date(s) of repair(s) and mileage at the time, 6) Current
mileage, and 7) A description of the action you expect to
resolve your concern.
Upon receipt of your request:

ten (10) days, and advise you whether or not your
dispute is within the jurisdiction of the Process.
• When your request is within jurisdiction NCDS will
request Chrysler and the dealer to present their side of
the dispute. You will receive copies of their responses.
• While your dispute is pending NCDS or Chrysler may
contact you to see if your case can be settled by
agreement. If a settlement is offered to you, Chrysler
will ask you to sign a form that contains that settlement.Your case will then be closed. There is no requirement
for you to participate in this settlement process.
• If you requested an oral hearing, a decision-maker will
contact you to arrange a convenient time and place for a
hearing. Usually, this will be at a dealership near you.
• If you request a documents-only review, an NCDS
panel will review and decide your case. Neither you, the
dealer nor Chrysler need be present.
• NCDS will send you a written Statement of Decision.
This statement will include the decision, any action to be
taken by the dealer or Chrysler and the time by which the
action must be taken. The decision will be binding on
the dealer and Chrysler but not on you unless you
