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 were not disclosed, the agency emphasized that enforcing price transparency in car dealerships remains a key focus. The move signals ongoing scrutiny of how dealerships market vehicles and disclose pricing to consumers. Critics and regulators continue to push for clearer rules to prevent misleading claims in auto sales.


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.
