This Summer: Tell the FTC About Your Car-Buying Experiences

After a decade of research, the Federal Trade Commission has issued draft rules to combat the plague of auto-dealer misconduct throughout the sales process.  You can help make sure the FTC adopts the strongest possible version of the rules by telling the FTC about your car-buying experiences. The car dealers lobby will be pushing back against pro-consumer rules, so we need everyone who has been subjected to abuse from a car dealer to build the strongest possible case about why it's vital to have the strongest possible new rules.

So, please, if you have ever had a bad experience buying a car, turn that bad experience into good by telling the FTC what happened to you.  

Your story can help the FTC write the strongest regulations. 

Stick up for consumers by sharing your experiences at this link. 

And if you are a consumer advocate, urge the FTC to issue stronger car buyer protections on regulations.gov.
