Single mom says she was left on the hook for $ 50 K after she’d refinanced her loan with dealership.

Prosecutors could only confirm that the dealership is under investigation and did not speak to specific charges.

NBC 10 was already looking into Autosmart after a viewer reached out with a problem she is facing.

Auto dealerships have different ways of luring in credit-challenged buyers.

They can promise low vehicle prices and low financing rates only to hit you with surprise costs.

Another popular tactic is the yo-yo scam where you're told your auto loan is final and you're allowed to drive the car away.
