Phoenix, AZ -- Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard will file a lawsuit against Wal-Mart and AutoZone for failing to fix inaccurate pricing scanners, according to sources close to the investigation. An announcement is expected Thursday afternoon.

The sources tell 12 News that Wal-Mart and AutoZone have been warned repeatedly about this issue but haven't taken the necessary steps to fix the problem.

Some customers we talked to say they've noticed irregularities on their receipts, but rarely complain about it.

AutoZone had no comment and a Wal-Mart spokesperson also had no comment on the lawsuit, but did claim in a statement to 12 News, "We strive for 100 percent accuracy, but as with any retailer, there's a slight possibility for error. More often than not, the error is in the customers' favor."
