The agreement would require Stream Auto Outlet to show mandatory vehicle prices in its ads, excluding government-required charges. A federal judge must approve and sign the proposed order before it has the force of law.
Sole source: The US Federal Trade Commission announced an agreement with Stream Auto Outlet on 9 November 2026, to settle allegations that the dealership group advertised vehicle prices below what customers ultimately had to pay. The proposed order would require ads that include a price to prominently show the actual mandatory price, excluding only charges the government requires consumers to pay.
The FTC had warned the Long Island, New York-based group in a March 2026 letter that advertising a price without all required fees was an example of an illegal pricing practice. The FTC complaint alleges that Stream Auto continued to charge customers thousands of dollars more than the advertised amount through dealer fees and unwanted add-ons.
The complaint alleges that Stream Auto drew customers to its dealerships with artificially low online prices and then refused to honor them. It says customers had to make down payments of thousands of dollars on top of the advertised prices.
The proposed order would also prohibit Stream Auto from misrepresenting the costs or terms of acquiring a vehicle. The FTC voted 2–0 to authorize staff to file the complaint and proposed order in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. A district judge must approve and sign the order before it has the force of law.
