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 Central Office in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777: English or 1-800-263-7854: French. For resolution of issues related to the Cadillac Professional Vehicle, contact 1-800-43-FLEET (1-800-433-5338). We encourage you to call the toll-free number in order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Have the following information available to give the Customer Assistance Representative:
| • | The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate above the left top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield. |
| • | The dealer name and location |
| • | The vehicle's 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 should file with the 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 are required to resort to this informal dispute resolution program prior to filing any 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 may reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief available to you.
You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address:

State Warranty Enforcement Laws
Laws in many states permit owners to obtain a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price under certain circumstances. The provisions of these laws vary from state to state. To the extent allowed by state law, GM requires that you first provide us with written notification of any service difficulty you have experienced so that we have an opportunity to make any needed repairs before you are eligible for the remedies provided by these laws. Your written notification should be sent to the Cadillac Customer Assistance Center.
