Michigan consumers are protected from unfair, unconscionable, or deceptive methods, acts, or practices perpetrated by businesses under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (“MCPA.”). The MCPA is extremely broad and prohibits a wide variety of unfair business practices. Michigan consumers who are victims of fraud or unfair trade practices are entitled to $250 or actual damages, whichever is greater along with reasonable attorneys fees. A court may also order declaratory or injunctive relief.

Some common unfair and deceptive practices reported by customers of Toyota of Ann Arbor which may violate the MCPA include:

• Representing that certain “accessories” such as ceramic paint protection, underbody protection and LoJack service are “included” with all new cars purchased when these “accessories” actually cost several thousand dollars and are not included in the sales price.

• Advertising a vehicle for sale online at a discounted price with no intent of selling the vehicle at that price. The actual price of the vehicle is much higher.

For additional examples of the commonly employed unfair and deceptive trade practices of Toyota of Ann Arbor please read the negative customer reviews on Yelp or Google.

Some additional examples of the types of conduct which are prohibited by the MCPA include:

• Representing that a consumer will receive a rebate, discount, or other benefit as an inducement for entering into a transaction, if the benefit is contingent on an event to occur subsequent to the consummation of the transaction.

• Advertising or representing goods or services with intent not to dispose of those goods or services as advertised or represented.

• Taking advantage of the consumer's inability reasonably to protect his or her interests by reason of disability, illiteracy, or inability to understand the language of an agreement presented by the other party to the transaction who knows or reasonably should know of the consumer's inability.

• Gross discrepancies between the oral representations of the seller and the written agreement covering the same transaction or failure of the other party to the transaction to provide the promised benefits.

• Causing coercion and duress as the result of the time and nature of a sales presentation.

• Representing that a consumer will receive goods or services free or without charge, or using words of similar import in the representation, without clearly and conspicuously disclosing with equal prominence in immediate conjunction with the use of those words the conditions, terms, or prerequisites to the use or retention of the goods or services advertised.

• Making false or misleading statements of fact concerning the reasons for, existence of, or amounts of price reductions.
