surfaced semanticallySubprime auto borrowers trapped in predatory loans with no viable refinancing path

The combination of rapid vehicle depreciation, high rates, and no refinancing alternatives creates a debt trap that is particularly harmful to lower-income consumers. Regulatory enforcement against excessive auto loan rates remains inadequate.
