  I purchased a car from Carvana on 05/28/25. Their vehicles are supposed to go through a thorough inspection process prior to the sale and all defects must be disclosed during the sale. After I purchased the vehicle I had it inspected by my own mechanic who identified multiple deficiencies including damage that was not disclosed during the sale. However, the biggest issue was that a leaky head gasket was identified. Any standard inspection would have identified this issue, but Carvana did not disclose it. There is a seven day window to return the vehicle for any issues discovered during the initial purchase period. I notified Carvana after five days that I wanted to return the vehicle. They accepted the request and we scheduled the return. Carvana was supposed to pick up the car on 06/07/25. On the day of the pickup they did not show up and upon calling them I was told that they changed the pick up date without notifying me due to staffing issues. We rescheduled the pickup for 6/13/25. Carvana confirmed this date with me multiple times when I contacted them. On 6/13/25 I contacted them at 11:45 to inquire about the pickup time. They told me that the field advocate who picks up the car would call to schedule the pickup. By 1:45pm I had not been contacted. I called their office again and was told that the vehicle would be picked up today but that they could not give me a time and that I must wait until 7pm. The vehicle has still not been picked up. I missed a whole day of work to wait for them to pick up the vehicle. They failed to communicate or follow through on their promise to pick up the vehicle. I want the vehicle picked up and I will never do business with this company again. They have cost me money unnecessarily due to their fraudulent business dealing. Carvana knowingly sold me a defective car and did not disclose the known defects during the purchase process. This is fraud.

  I started to buy a car from them, but realized that I didn't have the **** requirements to complete the purchase, so I called and cancelled immediately. The person on the phone said they cancelled my order and that I wouldn't be charged. The next morning, I woke up and have been charged the full amount. I want my money back immediately! They said two weeks, but that's not good enough. They were deceptive and still charged me, even though I cancelled my order. I will not rest until they give me my money back.

  I am requesting a refund of the $690 delivery fee. Carvana confirmed my vehicle delivery for June 13, and I took time off work based on that confirmation. On the day of delivery, I was informed last minute that the appointment was cancelled due to an internal inspection issue. This caused me to lose income and left me without transportation to get to work. Carvana acknowledged the mistake was on their end, but refused to offer any resolution or escalate the matter. Since I did not receive the delivery service as promised, I am requesting a full refund of the $690 delivery fee. Additionally, I activated my car insurance to start on the day of delivery (June 13), based on Carvanas confirmation. Because the delivery was delayed until Tuesday, Ive now paid for multiple days of coverage on a vehicle I dont even have. This added unnecessary cost on top of the income I lost.

  Dear BBB,
  

  Carvanas response completely ignores the core facts and documentation I provided in my complaint. Im not disputing their general delivery policies. Im disputing being charged $690 for a delivery they never completed, which they canceled last minute due to an internal inspection issue. Ive provided proof of email confirmation that delivery was scheduled for June 13, 11 AM2 PM. Carvanas own messages admitting the delay was due to their internal issue. Chat transcripts showing I was told no one had authority to issue a refund despite the acknowledged mistake. My escalation email to Carvana executives, which also went ignored. This resulted in lost wages from a day off work taken based on their delivery window. Unnecessary days of car insurance coverage on a vehicle I hadnt received. Zero accountability from Carvana, only generic responses and apologies. I am requesting a full refund of the $690 delivery fee for a service that was not fulfilled. Compensation consideration for lost wages and insurance expenses due to their failure to deliver. That BBB formally notes Carvanas refusal to take responsibility despite admitting fault. At this point, I am documenting everything and prepared to escalate further if needed. Thank you for your time and support in holding this company accountable.

  Sincerely,
  ****** *******

  Dear BBB, 
  
  Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We appreciate the customer's taking the time to provide us with an update on the experience they had with us. We know how excited our customers are to purchase a new vehicle, but when that vehicle is delayed, that experience certainly hinders it. This is never our intent, as we know how our customers rely on their vehicles to arrive on time for their means of transportation and lifestyle. We are doing what we can to get the vehicle to the customer as soon as possible. There is no delivery fee for the upcoming appointment but the applicable shipping fee is used to cover the costs of preparing, verifying, and transporting the vehicle to the customers local market. We are transparent about these costs during the purchase process and give each customer 24 hours to change their mind for any reason. We appreciate the customers feedback so that we can improve our customer experience.  Should the customer need further assistance, we ask that they give us a call or utilize the 24-hour chat and text feature found on our website.

  I've been trying to get my title released from Carvana for months just so I can get my registration in ********. They rejected two of my requests for my title in the time it took my temporary tags to expire, and now I can't drive my car at all. The third request was "accepted" but now they're telling me it's going to be EIGHT WEEKS before they can release my title to ********. This is not timely and this isn't right. Please help me, I have no transportation!

  Absolutely no effort has been made to contact me. I still don't have my documents. There's nothing an advocate can do for me when everything is happening on Carvana's end. I submitted the paperwork, I simply want my state title transfer. There is no reason for this sort of delay.

  Issue:I recently purchased a vehicle from Carvana, which has turned out to be unsafe to drive. Upon inspection, I discovered that the wheels were unaligned, and the tires were in extremely poor condition, with visible metal wires on the inner side. Despite Carvana's report stating that the tires and alignment were good, this was clearly not the case.Concerns:Safety: The vehicle's condition poses a significant risk to my safety on the road.Misrepresentation: Carvana's report inaccurately described the vehicle's condition, which influenced my purchasing decision.Lack of Resolution: When I reported the issue, Carvana did not attempt to resolve the problem, instead directing me to their insurance company, ******************** Coverage: ********** informed me that they do not cover tires, leaving me with a significant financial burden.

  The Carvana resolution team member reached out and offered to restart the process, with delivery to the same location where I experienced significant delays and where SilverRock Carvana failed to communicate effectively with their in-network repair facility. I declined, instead requesting a refund for the tires I'm replacing myself due to safety concerns, as I no longer have the time to continue with the process.

  I purchased a 2018 *** Canyon SLT from Carvana on June 9, 2025. 3 days later, the transmission is shuddering, the air conditioning stopped, the temperature gauge on the dash for the engine quit working, the drivers side door lock/unlock does not work and the *** Infotainment touch screen does not operate correctly and the check engine light came on. I contacted Carvana and the Advocate I was placed with told me basically they are not going to do anything. The warranty and Carvana Plus package I bought is worthless because there are no in network repair mechanics within over 50 miles of my travel range. I tried to trade it back for another vehicle but only if I would take a $12,000 loss on the 2018 ********** I just purchased 3 days ago. It was stated it went through a *************************************************** working order.. also in the description it stated it had remote start and it does not. This is false advertising and theyre scamming people.

  On April 25th. I have requested that Carvana reissue a check that they mailed me. After several calls made by me and no follow up from them, they first falsely stated that it was cashed. After I ask for proof assuming it was fraud. Several weeks in they then, later said it was not and stated that they would overnight the check and I should receive it by May 30th. After another call wondering what happened they stated I need to wait 10 business day with no valid explanation. Over 10 business days it is now it June 12 and no check and a added late fee on my rent.

  We purchased a car from Carvana on April 25 2025 and on the Carvana site it said there were no accidents. When we got the car 5 days later we saw no issues. 2 days later the communication center was not displaying the tire pressure in the car details section. We reached out to Carvana and was told this was covered under warranty with *****. We were in the process of making an appt to have it fixed when the daylight running light went out and we noticed condensation in headlight area. We submitted a claim and was told again since the car was less than a year old we had to have ***** fix the issue as it was under the dealership warranty We made an appt with ***** and they assessed the car on June 4th. They informed us this car was in a major head on collision and refused to fix the issue as the warranty is voided due to the accident. ***** printed the car fax showing the accident on 10/16/24. They also told us the whole front end is loose and the air conditioner compressor is shifted. We called Carvana and was directed to take the car to one of there associated auto body mechanics to have a claim submitted. On June 5th ******* Auto Body looked at the car briefly and said the front end is shifted and the bumper was not attached correctly and would need to look further for more damage. He would need ********** to approve the claim to do anything further. We than called Carvana again who told us a Supervisor would call us back within 24 to 48 hours and we should wait for the claim to be reviewed by SilverRock. We never received a callback and ********** denied the claim as they handle mechanical issues not bodywork. ***** also emailed us informing that since the Car was in an accident and purchased by Carvana the warranty is null and void. We have now been back and forth with Carvana as no one wants to fix the issue. Our claim number with SilverRock is C102046188. We just want the car assessed and fixed properly.
