Carvana Processes New Registration Instead of Plate Transfer Despite Written Confirmation
Carvana explicitly confirmed via chat that a customer existing license plates would be transferred, then processed a new registration instead.

Online Car Dealers Install Safety-Hazard Components Without Disclosure
Online used car platforms install tires and components that are older or more degraded than the vehicle itself without disclosing this in vehicle condition reports. When customers flag these safety hazards, dealers refuse to remedy them citing as-is sale terms.
