NEW YORK – State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has filed a lawsuit against two auto dealerships alleging they deceptively charged as many as 1,100 customers for an unwanted and bogus anti-theft product that cost up to $4,000 per consumer.
The lawsuit against Victory Mitsubishi of Larchmont and Victory Suzuki of the Bronx alleges that the item known as an “after-sale” product was often tacked onto the final cost of the vehicle without the consumer’s knowledge or consent, after the customer had agreed upon the purchase price of a vehicle but before the sale transaction was finalized.
“Consumers shouldn’t have to worry about being scammed by auto dealers when they buy a car,” said Schneiderman, who said his office will continue to “take on those who seek to rip off consumers with hidden and unwanted fees and products.”
