General Motors Corporation; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

This order reopens a 1979 consent order that settled allegations that General Motors (GM) engaged in unfair and deceptive practices by selling cars with engines and other equipment manufactured by a different GM division without informing purchasers. This order modifies the consent order by allowing GM to display division brand nameplates on engines that are not manufactured by that GM division. In addition, the Commission deleted the provisions from the modified order that have expired, concluding that elimination of the expired provisions is warranted. The commission determined that changed conditions of fact justified reopening the proceeding and modifying the order.
