Our car was delivered on 17 July 2025. We were told up upon delivery that there was a damage to the windshield during transit and that it would be replaced. We called they sent someone out. They did not repair the damage. Only put some glue or on it. We have also had this car have multiple problems since we have bought it we have had to have a tire replaced. Warning signs continue to blink with warnings of low tire pressure, low coolant, and there were damages outside of car not in photos. Well, we understand that normal wear and tear is appropriate and are totally fine with that. There is excessive paint damage to this vehicle.Business Response

I purchased a vehicle on June 27th from Carvana and was due a refund of $490 after cancelling the purchase within the indicated timeframe. I reached out on July 17, 2025, to follow up on the status of my refund as I had received no confirmation that a refund was being processed and was told by an associate that it had already been processed on July 3, 2025. Based on this, I waited the full ***************************************************************************** my account.After receiving nothing, I followed up again on July 25, 2025, only to be told that the refund had not been processed at all, and that a manual ticket was only now being created to initiate it.This is unacceptable. Not only was I misinformed by a Carvana associate, but I also waited weeks based on that false information, time during which I could have escalated sooner. Now Im being told that the refund still needs 12 business days to be initiated and could take another 1015 business days before I receive my money.$490 may not be a large amount for Carvana, but it is significant to me. Ive been patient, followed every step, and have been met with poor communication, false assurances, and no accountability. *** requested expedited processing and compensation for the delay, and have been told that no such accommodations will be made.I am requesting immediate processing of my refund, proof of transaction once initiated, expedited delivery of the funds, if possible, or reasonable compensation (such as a credit or goodwill payment) for the misinformation, delays, and inconvenience this has caused.Business Response

I purchased this truck on June 26, 2025 from Carvana. It started having mechanical problems on July 7, 2025. I contacted the warranty company, **********, and the automated message gave me 4 options of auto service centers to take the truck to. I contacted one with no response, one was disconnected and finally got in touch with **************************** I had it towed to this center. They looked at it and couldn't fix it and suggested I take it to Superior ********* in ******, **. I contacted Carvana and they did a three-way call with SilverRock who added a waiver to my account in order to have it fixed at the dealership. I again had it towed to the dealership. I did not have to pay for towing. My truck has been at the dealership since July 7, 2025 and I have been paying for a rental because the warranty company says I have to pay up front and get reimbursed. The dealership has been in contact with the warranty company and, at this time, can not find the parts to fix the truck. I have been in contact with Carvana several times and they've offered to send me monetary help twice in the form of checks. One for $100 and one for $150. I have not received these checks yet. I also had to return the rental car because it was getting too expensive for me to continue to rent it. I now have no vehicle and no money to pay for a rental. I am truly disgusted with Carvana and their lemon of a vehicle they sold me when they guarantee the vehicles with a 150 point inspection. I have missed several days of work due to not having transportation. My second job is just for extra money to have to pay bills and I don't earn leave time. I've had to use 4 days of leave time with my first job due to not having transportation.Business Response

Dear BBB,
Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. To cancel CarvanaCare, customers need to contact SilverRock ************. They should fill out a **************** Contract Cancellation Request" form, either mailing or emailing it back to SilverRock. Once SilverRock processes the cancellation, the refund process varies based on the payment method used for the purchase.

I bought a vehicle from Carvana on March 24th. By March 30th the vehicle no longer worked and was needing repairs. Carvana had me contact their 3rd party warranty company. They had me move it from shop to shop to the point that it has been at 5 shops and my warranty has expired and it has been four months since the vehicle was in my possession and working. It still does not work and they are unwilling to do anything to help. I have no vehicle to use to take my family anywhere because of this and my childrens entire summer and 2 of their birthdays have been ruined as well.Business Response

I took delivery of a 2024 Buick Envista from Carvana on Jun 24, 2025. It is now Jul 25, 2025, and Carvana still has not filed for title and registration paperwork. Multiple customer service agents have said something along the lines of "the paperwork has been sent to the state" but when I press further, they clarify that by the state they mean the "stateside team" and no paperwork was sent to the Michigan Secretary of State. Michigan law requires dealers to file an Application for Title and Registration within 15 days of taking delivery on the vehicle. It has now been 30 ******* Carvana email address is ****************** and the *** is *****************.Business Response

I purchased a car in 2023 from Carvana and since the day I received the vehiclea 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE LUXit has exhibited constant, severe mechanical, structural, and electrical issues that render it unreliable, unsafe, and unfit for daily use. As a single mother of a 9-month-old daughter, I cannot afford the risk of transporting my child in something this unsafe. Despite Carvanas claims that this vehicle had no prior accidents, I have discovered it was involved in a collision in 2020. I now believe that a visible repairshown in Carvanas own listing photosto the front passenger door was likely the result of this or an additional, undisclosed accident. This omission constitutes material misrepresentation of condition. Carvana sold this vehicle to me for $20,990 in December 2023 (total financed amount was $22,073) with approx. 86K miles at that time. As of July 2025: The vehicles trade-in offer was only $5,000. Market value is estimated between $6$7K. I'm over $12K upside down: a $15,900 loss in 19 months. Typical 5-year depreciation is around 60%. The vehicle currently has approx 95K miles.This reflects a depreciation rate of approx $1.77/mi. For reference:Typical Depreciation per mile is around $0.20$0.40/mile with heavily depreciating or poorly rated vehicles at $0.80$1.00/mi. My rate of $1.77 per mile is 2-8x higher than even against the steepest-depreciating benchmarks.This vehicle meets every practical definition of a lemon and should never have been listedlet alone sold at this price. While Mississippis Lemon Law does not apply to used vehicles, I retain valid claims under the federal MagnusonMoss Warranty Act if any written coverage existed, and more significantly, under state and federal consumer protection statutes for deceptive practices, misrepresentation, and unsafe product sale within ***********. Carvana's actions are not only unethical, they are potentially unlawful, predatory, and unconscionable.Business Response

Carvana severely failed in their 150 point inspection. They missed a leaking oil pan, dry rotted tires, a filthy air filter and cabin air filter.Their 100 day warranty provided by ********** will only pay to fix the oil pan leak but will not replace the dry rotted tires that Carvana missed in their inspection. Now I have to pay $600 not counting the air filters I had to purchase.Business Response

I purchased a 2017 ********** Beetle from Carvana that was advertised as having passed their 150-point inspection, including a full review of the undercarriage, suspension, brakes, and cosmetic condition. Three months later, a CarvanaCare mechanic discovered extensive rust damage affecting the entire brake system, front and rear suspension, and steering components. This level of damage should have immediately disqualified the vehicle from passing inspection.The mechanic's report includes notes such as:-All brake rotors and calipers rusted.-Brake bleeder valves rusted to the point they may break off.-Front and rear suspension very rusted.-Grinding sound from steering due to rust.-The car looks like it sank and was under water rust all over the bottom signs of possible flooding.This is not surface-level rust. It affects critical driving components and presents serious safety concerns. If the vehicle was exposed to flooding, it should have been flagged on the title and certainly should not have passed inspection. Carvanas 150-point inspection is supposed to ensure safety and transparency, but in this case, it has failed on both counts.When I called Carvana, they deflected responsibility to their third-party warranty provider (**********), who initially rejected the claim because rust wasnt mentioned. After pushing back and having my mechanic resubmit, Im still left with a car that may have flood damage, dangerous rust, and significant repair costs, all of which were never disclosed to me before I purchased the car. I feel misled, disappointed, and honestly, unsafe. I am requesting that Carvana:-Acknowledge that this vehicle never should have passed their inspection -Either fully cover the cost of all required rust-related repairs -Or allow me to exchange the vehicle and/ or receive compensation for its diminished value due to structural rust and possible flood exposure.Business Response
