The Federal Trade Commission has made public the full list of auto dealership groups it warned about deceptive pricing practices, including several of the nation’s largest retailers. The FTC sent the letters in March, warning dealers that advertised vehicle prices must reflect all dealer required fees, but at the time declined to identify the recipients. The agency made the list public on May 28, with one outlet reporting it obtained the link through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The letters cited examples of illegal pricing the FTC has observed, including advertising prices that exclude required fees, promoting rebates not available to all buyers, and conditioning advertised prices on dealer financing.
Importantly, every dealer received the same form letter, with no individualized findings or specific allegations. A warning letter is not a determination that any recipient broke the law, but it signals heightened scrutiny.
