Consumer Narrative
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VIN # XXXX - Carvana Stock # XXXX delivered XX/XX/2021 within 12 hours or XXXX EST a 12inch engine oil puddle has appeared under the vehicle and continues dripping oil. I crawl under for a closer look and discover damage to radiator, front end body panels, paint oversprays and masking tape residue in several sections. Local foreign auto shop replaces engine oil, filter and drain plug w/ gasket as both are necessary. Within the hour the oil leak has returned. Coupled with the obvious front end damage and botched paint job the auto shop specialist opined a potentially serious and costly problem with this vehicle. By this time on XX/XX/2021 Carvana has already reached into my XXXX account via the XXXX financial app and removed the {$24000.00}. This action was not authorized by me and contradicts several employee 's testimony and quoted text available at the Carvana website about dispersal of funds. ( see text below ) " What does Carvana use XXXX for? Carvana uses XXXX as a method of funds verification, income verification, employment verification, and address verification. The XXXX connection is encrypted and secure. Connecting a financial institution via XXXX does NOT give Carvana ( or anyone else ) access to your accounts. You are always in control and can manage Carvana 's XXXX connection on our website or the XXXX XXXX '' I attempted to move on with an alternate vehicle and realized Carvana doesn't deserve my trust or business and attempted to sever ties and collect the amount Caravana removed from my account. Today XX/XX/2021 is day 8 of multiple failed attempts to schedule a pickup date/time for the XXXX XXXX and any acknowledgement of refunding the {$24000.00} owed back to me. Now needed for payment of the alternate vehicle I'm moving forward with and Carvana has tied up funding. I'm embarrassed for allowing such a pitiful business model to lure me into this no-win scenario process. Carvana has taken over 14 days of personal and professional time away from me, my family and clients.
