The Federal Trade Commission has concluded a two-year legal case against a major automotive group, reaching a settlement with one of its dealerships over alleged deceptive advertising practices. While the specifics of the settlement remain undisclosed, the agency emphasized that enforcing price transparency in car dealerships will continue to be a key focus. The move signals ongoing scrutiny of how automakers and dealers communicate pricing and promotions to consumers. The decision may also set a precedent for how similar cases involving automotive advertising are handled in the future.
The FTC ended its two-year case against Asbury Automotive Group. It settled with Greenway Automotive over ads and said dealership price-transparency enforcement remains a priority.
