OMVIC Practice Test

What rights do consumers have under the Consumer Protection Act regarding vehicle sales?

1. The right to any price they demand

2. The right to receive accurate information and protection from false advertising and unfair practices

3. The right to a full refund

4. The right to change vehicles after purchase

The correct answer is: The right to receive accurate information and protection from false advertising and unfair practices

Consumers have the right to receive accurate information and to be protected from false advertising and unfair practices under the Consumer Protection Act. This is fundamental to ensuring that buyers are not misled about the nature, quality, or price of a vehicle. By requiring dealerships and sellers to provide truthful information, the law helps promote fair transactions and enhances trust in the automotive market. These protections include accurate representations of the vehicle's condition, history, and pricing, as well as safeguards against deceptive marketing practices. This ensures that consumers make informed decisions and can hold sellers accountable if they engage in misleading or fraudulent behaviors. The other options do not accurately reflect the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act. Consumers do not have the right to demand any price, nor is there an automatic entitlement to a full refund or the ability to change vehicles post-purchase without specific circumstances or conditions being met.
