We prefer you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort to AUTOLINE, 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 whereeligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator. The arbitrator will makea 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 takeabout 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 1-800-955-5100 or the GMC Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-GMC-8782 (1 -800-462-8782).
