Third-party dispute resolution program administered through the National Automobile Dealers Association.
Consumer information available on request.

If you are still unsuccessful, consider contacting the other organizations that handle consumer complaints.

Automotive Dispute Resolution Programs	Office of Defects Investigation DOT Auto Safety Hotline	International Association of Lemon Law Administrators	Motorist Assurance Program
National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)	RV Consumer Group	State Attorney Generals

These programs are alternative dispute resolution programs. Generally, there are three types: arbitration, conciliation and mediation. All three methods of dispute resolution vary.

Ask for a copy of the rules of the program before you file your case.

Decisions of the arbitrators are binding and must be accepted by both the customer and the business.

However, in other forms of dispute resolution, only the business is required to accept the decision.

In some programs, decisions are not binding on either party.

Before contacting one of these programs, try to resolve the complaint with the company. If you still cannot resolve your problem, contact one of the third-party resolution programs.

Be sure to contact your local or state consumer agency to see if your state offers state-run dispute resolution programs.

If you suspect you have a vehicle problem that might fall under your state's lemon law, call your local or state consumer protection agency to find out about your rights under the lemon law.

f you have a safety problem with your vehicle, report it to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Auto Safety Hotline.

(1-888-327-4236)
8:00AM to 10:00PM ET Monday-Friday
