For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your area, please call us (NISSAN) toll-free
at 1-800-NISSAN-1 (1-800-647-7261). We will be happy to provide you with information
about BBB AUTO LINE. Or, you may contact the BBB directly:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22203
1-800-955-5100
If you call the BBB, its staff will take down details of your complaint by telephone. They will
ask for the same information as described in Step 2.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts: mediation and arbitration. The BBB
will attempt to assist you to resolve the problem during mediation. If a satisfactory
resolution has not been achieved during mediation, you will have the opportunity to
personally present your case before an impartial arbitrator or three-person panel. The
arbitrator(s) will make a decision after the arbitration hearing.
The BBB will, in most cases, send you a final decision within forty (40) days (plus 7 if you
have not contacted the proper person from the dealership or NISSAN) unless you delay
the process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and NISSAN. If you
do not accept the decision, it will not be legally binding on you and NISSAN. (However, in
some states, if the decision is not accepted, it may be introduced either by you or by
NISSAN, as evidence in any potentially related court action.)
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism operated to comply with
applicable Federal law and regulations. In states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you
are required to use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under
Title I of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. If you
choose to seek remedies other than those created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act, (for example, under state law), that Federal Act does not require you to first
use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still available to you, however, and may be of
considerable assistance. Some states specify that informal dispute settlement mechanisms
such as BBB AUTO LINE must be used before you may file a lawsuit under state law,
and/or before you may have certain other rights or remedies available under state law. In
accordance with those states’ laws, NISSAN requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE in
good faith before you resort to such other processes, file a lawsuit, or seek other remedies
provided by state law. Please see the Supplement to 2012 NISSAN Warranty Information
Booklet & 2012 NISSAN Owner’s Manual for additional information.
