The Federal Trade Commission and the state of Connecticut have reached a $4 million settlement with a Connecticut auto dealership and its owners and managers over allegations of deceptive fees and unauthorized charges, according to an official announcement from the FTC.
The settlement resolves a lawsuit filed in January 2024 by the FTC and Connecticut against Chase Nissan LLC, which operated as Manchester City Nissan in Manchester, Connecticut. The agencies alleged the dealership double-charged customers for certified pre-owned vehicles and collected other fees without consumer authorization.
