The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced the CARS (Combating Auto Retail Scams) Rule to combat deceptive practices in vehicle shopping, targeting issues like bait-and-switch tactics and hidden fees. This rule, effective from July 30, 2024, requires dealers to clearly disclose the full price of a vehicle, inform consumers about total payments, and ensure that any add-on products or services are optional and provide actual benefits to the consumer. Dealers must also obtain express, informed consent for any charges.
