These 97 Car Dealers Were Warned About 'Deceptive' Pricing By The FTC

The US Federal Trade Commission warned 97 dealers about engaging in “deceptive pricing” practices in March.

The FTC revealed the dealership names in late May.

The agency wants to encourage dealers to ensure the ‘advertised price is transparent and truthful.’

The US Federal Trade Commission has revealed a list of the 97 dealers it warned about allegedly using "deceptive pricing" practices. The list includes some of the largest dealerships in the country, like Lithia Motors, AutoNation, and Hendrick Automotive Group.

In March, the agency said the letters were sent to "encourage dealers to review their advertising and pricing practices, including ensuring advertised prices include all fees consumers will be required to pay when buying a vehicle." At the time of the announcement, the FTC did not disclose which dealers it had contacted.
