With some help from Greg Gifford we learned that this was from a widget that Edmunds had put on a lot of client's sites. The problem has since been resolved.

Has anyone else seen a large increase in Direct Traffic in Analytics since August 21 2017?posted in Reporting & Analytics
I work at an agency that has Google Analytics to many different sites. About half of them have seen a huge increase in their "Direct" traffic since August 21. Given the cross section of sites I am viewing, I don't think this issue just effects our clients.
So has anyone else seen this issue? Any ideas on how to correct/filter?
