STEP THREE (U.S. Owners): Both Saturn and its
retailers are committed to making sure you are
completely satisfied with your Saturn vehicle. However,
if you continue to remain unsatisfied after following
the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, Saturn
and its retailers offer the additional assistance of a
neutral party through our voluntary participation
in a mediation/arbitration program called Better Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto Line.
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. This program is available at no cost to you,
our customer.
Although you may be required to resort to this informal
dispute resolution program prior to filing a court
action, use of the program is free of charge and your
case is generally heard within 40 days. If you do
not agree with the decision given in your case, you can
reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief
available to you.
Contact the BBB Auto Line Program by using the
toll-free telephone number or by writing them at the
following address:
