GM Participation in an Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program
This program is available in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia. Canadian owners refer to your
Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet for
information on the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration
Plan (CAMVAP). General Motors reserves the right to
change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its
participation in this program.
Both GMC
and your GMC dealer are committed to
making sure you are completely satisfied with your new
vehicle. Our experience has shown that, if a situation
arises where you feel your concern has not been
adequately addressed, the Customer Satisfaction Procedure
described earlier in this section is very successful.
There may be instances where an impartial third party
can assist in arriving at a solution
to a disagreement
regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation
of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
To assist in resolving these
disagreements, GMC voluntarily participates in BBB
AUTO
LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program
administered by the Better Business Bureau system to
settle automotive disputes. This program
is available
free
of charge to customers who currently own or lease a
GM vehicle.
If you are not satisfied after following the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure, you may contact the BBB using
the toll-free telephone number, or write them at the
following address:
BBB AUTO
LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite
800
Arlington, VA 22203- 1804
Telephone: 1-800-955-5 100
To file a claim, you will be asked-to provide your name
and address, your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
and a statement of the nature
of your complaint.
Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and
other factors.
8-9
,
ProCarManuals.com

We prefer you utilize the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure before you resort to AUTO LINE, but
you
may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint serving as an intermediary. If
this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will
be scheduled where eligible customers may present their
case to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which you may
accept or reject.
If you accept the decision, GM will be
bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about
40 days from the
time you file a claim until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you to use this program
before filing a claim with
a state-run arbitration
program or
in the courts. For further information,
contact the
BBB at 1-800-955-5 100 or the GMC
Customer Assistance Center at
1 -800-GMC-8782
(1-800-462-8782).
