Why do people put up with this kind of treatment? Why do car companies allow their dealers to keep doing this? Why do legislators not regulate this bad behavior?

Customer opinion:
Houston, TX
Crooks. Just plain crooks. In fact, they pretty much embody all that is bad about buying a car. Apparently nothing has changed since they were kicked out of the BBB in 2001 because of the number of complaints.
So my experience happened this last weekend. We received a letter in the mail from Randall Reed's Planet Ford on 59 stating that we would get a $50 gift card to one of our choice of eight potential retailers if we came in to test drive one of their cars.
We are looking to either buy or lease a car, and this was our first day of going to search for the right car. We stopped in and referenced this card the moment we got there. The salesman said that he would get that done right after we were done doing the test drive. We test drove a car, talked to him some more, and then went inside to get the gift card that we were offered.
At that point, a sales manager came out (typical car sales technique) to try to close us right then, to ask us if there is anything they could do to get us in a new car that day. We said that we were just browsing for now, but would be interested in buying some time in the near future.
Only then did the salesman go up to the sales desk at the front of the showroom and come back with the sad news that they had run out of gift cards.
The flat out truth is that either there never was a gift card, or they didn't feel like giving us one because they had already qualified us to figure out that we weren't going to buy that day. Con-Artists. I will never go back to their crooked dealership.
BE AWARE, THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS, STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP.
