I recently purchased a car from Carvana. In the images of the Tesla that I purchased, it shows that the vehicle comes with a charger. After attempting to charge it, I have realized that it was a ****** charger. After paying for the plus warranty and attempting to get resolution from Carvana, I was basically told that it was my problem because I was after the 7 day period even though the car was marketed as having a charger as an accessory. They were dishonest in how they marketed this and show no remorse or offer any help in correcting this.Business Response

On May 7, 2025 we purchased our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L from Carvana that had less than ****** miles on it. Less than 1 month later, on 6/4/2025, before our first monthly payment was even processed, our battery died and it was discovered through the AAA mechanic that there are wires sitting in water internally in the vehicle, along with black mold. We initially tried to go through Carvana's warranty company, ***********, to have the vehicle repaired, but we are unable to find any mechanics who are willing to fix the vehicle because of the sitting water and electrical wires. My husband and I have spent hours on the phone with Carvana the past few days being bounced around to different people on Carvana's team with no resolution. Twice now they have promised to reach out to us and have not done so. Tomorrow will be the 6th day that we do not have a working vehicle and we will be forced to pay to rent a car so that my husband is able to get back and forth to work. Our first monthly payment of $305 was processed this weekend, but yet our vehicle is inoperable.We want Carvana to get us out of the vehicle and take it back, to refund us our first monthly payment of $305 that was processed when the car was inoperable, and refund us the down payment amount owed to us for our prior car that we traded in for this purchase.Business Response

Our Case Manager from the Executive Resolution Team has not followed up as promised. On Sunday, he gave us the incorrect phone number to get ahold of him so we were trying and failing to reach him throughout the day yesterday. He was supposed to call my husband yesterday before the end of the day and did not do so. Carvana also did not reach out and follow up with Silver Rock like they said they would yesterday so that we could get the necessary documentation from the repair shop. In addition, one of the customer service **** that my husband spoke to was very unprofessional on the phone with her verbiage. We are now on day 7 of not having a functioning vehicle, there is no resolution in sight and Carvana has no sense of urgency to help us.

I attempted to purchase a vehicle through Carvana. They have a 7 day money back guarantee. After having the vehicle for 48 hours, the check engine light came on and I requested to return the vehicle. I was told by Carvana that they would pick it up June 7th and that the contract would be voided and any monies refunded. I contacted Carvana 3 times on June 7th to find out an ETA. It wasn't until 7 PM that I was told they rescheduled it. I was not contacted about the reschedule and they wanted to push it off another week. This is not acceptable as I requested the car to be picked up within the required time frame but they have refused to complete the pick up as scheduled. This contract needs to be voided as it was within the required time frame and removed from my credit report.Business Response

Bought a 2016 ********** Tiguan through Carvana back in January. Right away knew there was an issue because I smelt exhaust in the car and it always fogged up. Took it in to ********** and was told I needed a new turbo. Had to have that replaced, still under the 100 day warranty at that time. Now its June and my back tires are completely worn out, clearly an alignment issue that was there from the start. No ways the tires should have worn like they did so quickly. Carvana wants nothing to do with me when I try to talk, email, or chat with me. Car was overpriced from the start, customer service is not at all helpful, just an overall bad experience. I feel that they should pay for my rear end alignment and new tires.Business Response

Dear BBB,
Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We have contacted our customer and resolved this complaint directly with them. Tires are considered wearable parts and are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty, our 100-Day/4,189 mile limited warranty, or Carvana Care. We do, however, review concerns regarding wearable items within the first 30 days/1000 miles, whichever comes first. The customer has passed this allotted mileage at the time of their diagnosis and therefore, we will not be assisting with any repairs. If the BBB has any questions during this process, please let us know, and we will be happy to assist.

I bought the car in January and was sold a car with a plug in the tire which is now leaking. I have also included a pic the wear on my tires because of an obvious alignment issue that was ignored by Carvana too. I feel the car was not properly inspected. I already had to have the turbo replaced because I noticed the car stunk of exhaust and fogged up constantly as soon as I got it. Carvana has many complaints such as this all over the internet. Not an honest business at all.

On March 30, 2025 I picked and purchased a 2024 ****** Pathfinder from the Carvana vending machine in ******* *********. The vehicle had just ****** miles on it, was $34,000. I noticed that the air was not blowing cold. I called Carvana and I was given the in network repair facilities. We noticed that one side of the front bumper was bowing out. on that same day call Carvana and inform them of some damage to the front of the car. Again, I was given a list of in network repair ************* was a Sunday so I had to wait until the next morning to call and make an appointment. On March 31, I called ********* to make an appointment to service the **, who was one of the repair providers that was approved by ********** the company they partner with for their coverage. My appointment was on April 2nd. I also called a repair shop Mitchells body shop to make an appointment for the front end bumper. My appointment was scheduled for April 3rd at 10:00am. On April the 3rd we arrived at our appointment once we gave ********* our information and mileage. They refused to service the car. They stated they hate working with SliverRock and it was still factory warranty and to take to a ****** dealership. went to a ****** dealer and was told to come back the next day. We came back on April 4th, ********** approved for the dealership to remove the front bumper. Once the bumper was removed they immediately noticed sever damage to the front in, due to a wreck. I they missed my appointment for the body shop for the estimate for the bodywork that needed done. The dealership keep the vehicle until April 14th. I called for another appointment for the estimate I was given April 25th. ********** did not approve the estimate for the body work. I was then told by SilverRock and Carvana that since the estimate/ damages was reported in the first 7 days they couldnt approve it. There were undocumented damages to the vehicle and not they will not take responsibility and cover the repairs.Business Response

I bought a Mercedes C300 from Carvana on 05/10/2025. The website listed all the features the car came with and they all some great. A drivers assistance package for lane assist, adaptive cruise control and built in gps navigation. I couldnt find any of these on my car so I took it into the ******** dealership and this car doesnt have any of that and Mercedes charges $550+ just got navigation. No telling how much it is to add the driver assistance package but its not cheap. When I chatted with a representative she told me theres nothing they can do since its passed the 7 day money back policy. I dont want my money back, I want the features listed. Its 100% false advertising and Id like these features to be added like they were promised. I also want to be reimbursed the almost $300 Fee I paid to have the car transported.Business Response

bought a car from Carvana. unfortunately the "inspection" they do is not an inspection after receipt of the vehicle i took it to a shop for a self paid inspection to find multiple safety issues and other concerns that can be addressed but require longer to address ( I have bent wheels, bad tires, suspension issues, leaking brake lines, and possible electrical issues) however I cannot get in for a diag for another 2 weeks. they were deceptive in the way they sold the car. lied about a thorough inspection.Business Response

I have purchased a few cars from them, most recently only about 30 days ago. That process was SO easy. So, I was pre-qualified/approved for another and decided to. They kicked my order back over and over for various things. I provided them all. On 6/5, I spoke to 2 different agents who assured me all was uploaded and fine, yet again. That night, I get an email that my order was canceled bc I didnt supply documentation. I never got any other notices and THEIR agents told me all was well just a few hours earlier. I canceled the order. Now they are telling me that my 2k that was paid via debit card will take up to 15 business days to refund. I should also mention that never once did these people call me or email me anything beyond automated requests for this and that. Not to even mention they are refusing to refund the shipping fee. ****, its labeled as non-refundable but they are the ones not wanting to complete the transaction. And the car clearly didn't ship anywhere bc the deal was not finalized on their end. Shipping fee aside, 15 business days to get my 2k back that was paid via debit card is outrageous. All I get are canned responses when trying to talk to agents at this point. ***** this company. Just bc you had an easy deal once doesnt mean its not going to be a nightmare less than a month later. They dont value existing customers.Business Response
