In December 2005, the Chicago District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against Autonation Inc., AutoNation Corporate Management, LLC, and Elmhurst Auto Mall (doing business as Elmhurst Kia) alleging discrimination on the basis of national origin, Turkish, and religion, Muslim, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged the defendants allowed the complainant to be subjected to a hostile work environment. Following several motions for dismissal by the defendant and several amendments of the complaint by the EEOC, the parties settled the lawsuit in June 2007 through a consent decree.
The two-year decree, containing anti-discrimination and retaliation clauses, required the defendants to: make compliance reports, post notice of employee rights, provide employee training, and pay $53,750 to the complaining party. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
